(3)

Or in the empire of this heart,

where I should solely be.

Another do pretend a part,

and dares to vie with me.

Or if Committees thou erect,

and go on such a score,

I’ll sing and laugh at thy neglect,

and never love thee more.

But if thou wilt be constant then,

and faithful of thy word.

I’ll make glorious by my pen,

and famous by my sword!

I'll serve thee in such noble ways,

was never heard before!

I’ll crown and deck thee all with bays,

and love thee evermore.

PART II.

My dear and only love take heed,

lest thou thyself expose;

And let all longing lovers feed

upon such looks as those:

A marble wall then built about,

beset without a door;

But if thou let thy heart fly out,

I’ll never love thee more.
