Scène n°1

 

Love in Phantastique Triumph sat,

Whilst Bleeding hearts about him flow'd,

For whom fresh pays he did create,

And strange Tyrannick pow'r he shew'd;

From thy bright Eyes he took his fires,

Which round about in sport he hurl'd;

But 'twas from mine he took desires,

Enough t' undoe the Amorous world.

 

From me he took his sighs and tears,

From thee his pride and cruelty;

From me his languishments and fears,

And ev'ry killing Dart from thee:

Thus thou, and I, the God have arm'd,

And set him up a Deity,

But my poor heart alone is harm'd,

Whilst thine the Victor is, and free.

[Sissa 10]
