I value not Honour, no Honour I crave;

But what thou art able to bless me withal,

And if by thy Frowns to Despair I should fall:

Then Farewel those Joys which so long I have sought,

To languish in Sorrow, to languish in Sorrow,

Alass! I am brought.

I come not to flatter, as many have done,

Afford me a Smile, or my Dear I shall run

Distracted, as being disturbed in Mind,

Then now, now, or never be loving and kind:
