Songs Compleat,
The Frenzy's less Love to endure,
Then after to decline the Cure ;
Yet do both, aiming no higher
Than for to see, and to admire :
An Idol you'll not only frame,
But you will too adore the same.
Had there in Sylvia nothing shin'd,
But the unseen Charms of her Mind ;
You would have had the like Esteem
For her, that I have still for them :
If Flesh and Blood your Flame inspire,
Then make those only your Desire.
And Friend, that you may clearly prove,
'Tis not her Mind alone you love ;
Let her 'twixt us her self impart,
Give you her Mind, and me her Heart :
As little Cause then you will find
As I do now, to love her Mind.
Cselias Complaint.
