3. Separation of Lovers.

STop the chased Bore, or play
With the Lyons paw, yet feare
From the Lovers side to teare
Th'I doll of his soule away.

Though Love enter by the sight
To the heart, it doth not flye
From the mind, when from the eye
The faire objects take their flight.

But since want provokes desire,
When we lose what wee before
Have enjoy'd, as we want more,
So is Love more se… on fire,

Love doth with an hungrie eye
Glut on Beautie, and you may
Safer snatch the Tygers prey
Then his vitall food deny.

Yet though absence for a space,
Sharpen the keene Appetite,
Long continuance, doth quit.
All Loves characters efface;

For the sense not fed, denies
Nourishment unto the minde,
Which with expectation pinde,
Love of a consumption dyes.
