Pleasant and Divertive.
175
My Heart set on fire,
With the names of desire,
I boldly pursu'd what she seem'd to require ;
But she cry'd for pity-sake, change your ill Mind,
Pray Amyntas be Civil, or I'll be unkind.
Dear Amyntas she crys,
Then casts down her Eyes,
And in Kisses she gives, what in words she denys ;
Too sure of my Conquest, I purpose to stay,
Till her free Consent had more sweetned the Prey.
But too late I begun,
For her Passion was done,
Now Amy?itas she crys, I will never be won ;
Your Tears and your Courtship no pity can move,
For you've slighted the Critical minute of Love.
