Love in fantastic triumph sat, Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd,For whom fresh pains he did create, And strange tyrannic power he shew'd;From thy bright eyes he took his fire, Which round about in sport he hurl'd;But 'twas from mine he took desire Enough to undo the amorous world.
From me he took his sighs and tears, From thee his pride and cruelty;From me his languishments and fears, And every killing dart from thee;Thus thou and I the God have arm'd, And set him up a Deity;But my poor heart alone is harm'd, Whilst thine the victor is, and free.
