Love
SONG.
Love
THough Damon is haughty …and seems to despise,
The f…tte…s he lately has w…rne,
Yet …e k…ws in …is soul that his Phillis's eyes;
Were she willing coul… conquer his scorn
Then let not presumption so blind thee fond Damon
To think that this …umour shall e're bring my flame on
If he had been humble, obliging and free,
Perhaps I had pity'd his pain,
B…t sin… pride and Inconstancy in him I see;
He shall know H' has but lengthen'd his chayn.
For now I perceive what the Fop does endeavour
My Arts shall detain him my Captive for ever.
