Love in Fantastique Triumph satt
Love in Fantastique Triumph satt 
Whilst Bleeding Hearts a round him flow'd, 
For whom fresh paines he did Create, 
And strange Tyranick power he show'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 Crueltie;
From me his Languishments and Feares, 
And every Killing Dart from thee;
Thus thou and I, the God have arm'd, 
And sett him up a Deity; 
But my poor heart alone is harm'd,
Whilst thine the Victor is, and free.
