To win me, but this swain, and yet confess
I have been woo'd by many with no less Soul of affection, and have often had Rings, Belts, and Cracknels sent me from the lad That feeds his flocks down westward; Lambs and Doves By young _Alexis; Daphnis_ sent me gloves, All which I gave to thee: nor these, nor they That sent them did I smile on, or e're lay Up to my after-memory. But why Do I resolve to grieve, and not to dye? Happy had been the stroke thou gav'st, if home; By this time had I found a quiet room Where every slave is free, and every brest That living breeds new care, now lies at rest, And thither will poor _Amoret_. _Per_. Thou must. Was ever any man so loth to trust His eyes as I? or was there ever yet Any so like as this to _Amoret_? For whose dear sake, I promise if there be A living soul within thee, thus to free Thy body from it. [_He hurts her again_. _Amo_. So, this work hath end: Farewel and live, be constant to thy friend That loves thee next. _Enter_ Satyr, Perigot _runs off_. |
