No, no, poor suff'ring Heart, no Change endeavour, Choose to sustain the smart, rather than leave her; My ravish'd Eyes behold such Charms about her, I can dye with her, but not live without her One tender Sigh of hers to see me Languish, Will more than pay the price of my past Anguish: Beware, O cruel Fair, how you smile on me, 'Twas a kind look of yours that has undone me. 2 Love has in store for me one happy Minute, And She will end my pain who did begin it; Then no day void of Bliss, or Pleasure leaving, Ages shall slide away without perceiving: @3Cupid@1 shall guard the Door the more to please us, And keep out Time and Death, when they would seize us: Time and Death shall depart, and say in flying, Love has found out a way to Live by Dying. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BUCOLIC COMEDY: SPINNING SONG by EDITH SITWELL THE DEATH OF LEONIDAS by GEORGE CROLY CHANSON INNOCENTE: 2 by EDWARD ESTLIN CUMMINGS ON COMMUNISTS; EPIGRAM by EBENEZER ELLIOTT THE EVE OF ST.
