—Poor worthless Treasures to any but a Lover;

And such you know accept the meanest things,

Which Love and a true Devotion do present.

When she was present, I found a thousand ways

To let her know how much I was her Slave;

And absent, still invented new ones,

And quite neglected all my little Business;

Counting the tedious Moments of the Day

By Sighs and Tears; thought it an Age to night,

Whose Darkness might secure our happy meeting:
