Lucasia and Orinda Parting with Pastora and Phillis at Ipswich.
1.
IN your converse we best can read,How constant we should be,But, 'tis in losing that, we needAll your Philosphy.
2.
How perish'd is the joy that's past,The present how unsteady?What comfort can be great, and last,When this is gone already?
3.
Yet that it subtly may torment,The memory does remain;For what was, when enjoy'd, content,Is, in its absence, pain.
4.
If you'll restore it, we'll not grieveThat Fate does now us sever;'Tis better by your gift to live,Than by our own endeavour.
