“ Yet age will come, at whose command,
Those troups of beauties must disband:
A tirants strength once tooke away,
What slave so dull as to obay?
These threatening dangers to remove,
Make me believe at least you love ”

“ Though some by change procure ther peace,
My life before my love shall cease;
My love's immortall as my soule,
Which fate by death cannot controule;
For should my Phillis cruel prove,
Ide die to live and love above. ”
