〈♫〉〈♫〉 DEare, let mee now this Ev'ning die; O smile not to prevent it, but use this opportunity, or we shall both repent it.

Frown quickly then and break my heart, That so my way of dying May (though my life were full of smart) Be worth the worlds envying.

And now thou frownst, and now I die, My Corps by Lovers follow'd, Which shall by dead Lovers lie. For that grounds only hallow'd.

If Priests tak't ill I have grave, My death not well approving, The Poets my Estate shall have To teach them th'Art of Loving.
