Another New Love Song.

SEE what a Conquest love has made,
Beneath the Myrtles am'rous shade,
The charming fair Corinna lyes,
All melting in desire,
Quenching in tears those flaming Eyes,
That set the world on fire,
With fervent hot desire.
What cannot Tears and Beauty do,
The youth by chance stood by and knew,
For whom those Crystal eyes did flow,
And though he ne're before
To her Eyes brightest rage did bow,
Weeps too, and does adore.
So when the Heavens do shine clear,
Guilded with gaudy light appear,
Each craggy Rock, and every stone,
Their native rigour keep,
But when in Rain the Clouds fall down,
The hardest Marbles weep.


LONDON, Printed, and are to be Sold by A. Chamberlain, in Red-Bull-Play-house
yard, over against the Pound St. John-street.
