IA
Now fie upon that everlasting life I dyeA
She hates Ah me It makes me madB
As if love fir'd his torch at a moist eyeA
Or with his joyes e're crown'd the sadB
Oh let me live and shout when I fall onC
Let me ev'n triumph in the first attemptD
Loves duellist from conquest 's not exemptD
When his fair murdresse shall not gain one groanE
And he expire ev'n in ovationF
-
IIA
Let me make my approach when I lye downeG
With counter wrought and travers eyesH
With peals of confidence batter the towneG
Had ever beggar yet the keyesI
No I will vary stormes with sun and windeD
Be rough and offer calme conditionF
March in and pread or starve the garrisonF
Let her make sallies hourely yet I'le findD
Though all beat of shee's to be undermin'dD
-
IIIA
Then may it please your little excellenceJ
Of hearts t' ordaine by sound of lipsK
That henceforth none in tears dare love comenceK
Her thoughts ith' full his in th' eclipseK
On paine of having 's launce broke on her bedD
That he be branded all free beauties' slaveL
And his own hollow eyes be domb'd his graveL
Since in your hoast that coward nere was fedD
Who to his prostrate ere was prostratedD
