Amanti ch' in pianti &c.

LOvers who in complaints your selves consume,
And to be happy once perhaps presume;
Your Love and hopes, alike are vain,
Nor will they ever cure your pain.
They that in Love would joy attain,
Their passion to their power must frame;
Let them enjoy what they can gain,
And never higher aim.

Complaints and Sorrows, from me now depart,
You think to soften an ungentle Heart,
When it not onely wards such blows,
But from your sufferance prouder grows.
They that in Love would joy &c.
