A Song.
1.
I Dye, and yet I dare not speakTo her who doth my passion move,This thought alone my heart doth break,To know I dare not own my Love.
When e'r I see her charming eyes,I straight become her Sacrifice:She's fair, which makes me doubt she'l proveSo cruel to reject my love.
2.
Upon this Altar of my heartLove's pure, and chastest flames do burn,When Love and Death shall act their part,If she but look within my Urn.
Engraven on my heart, she'l seeThe Idea of her my Deitie,My Epitaph shall be my fate,My Love made me unfortunate.
