depiction of Cupid

depiction of a lady

●Ilvia the Fair by the side of a River , where she sat combing her Golden hair , ●●pid he drew forth a Dart from his Quiver , and without pitty he smites her there ; ●●w when she f●le her heart was wounded , strait cryed with voice both soft an shrill , ●h●t sudden change has my freedom confounded ? why must I love now against my Will. Often in Valleys young Corridon courted me , yet I lookt on him with scornful Eyes ; But now strange Raptures of love has transported me , which does my sences and soul surpri●e , This very Minute , time , and Season , sorrow and Grief my heart doth fill , Here I admire what should be the reason , that I must love him against my Will.

I w●s resolved to live and dye single , tho' I had Suitors alwaies in store , B●t e'ry vein in my heart does now tingle tho like I never did feel before , I had to love a Dete●tation , the which does now my comfort spill ; This is a sudden and strange Alter●tion , that I must love him against my Will. There was no Swain I cou'd ever admire ; all my delight was to live alone ; Therefore I 'll triumph o're e ry desire , in love I will not be overthrown : Let Cupid seem to frown and lower , nay use his best and chiefest skill , I will endeavour to baffle his power , why shou'd I love him against my Will ? But still her Passion encreased the stronger , and her Swéet Beauty grew pale and wan So that she could not endure any longer , but crying out my sweet Corridon , May e'ry Blessing now betide thee , d●n●t a fainting Lover Kill , Altho' 't is true , I have often deny'd thee , now I must love thee against my will . If I shall dye for the loss of my Iewel , there is none but my self in blame , Sith to my Corridon I was too cruel , when like a Captive to me he came But for this Crime I have repented ; yet remain in sorrows still With sighs and Tears I have often lamented , now I must love him against my Will. O that he heard but my sorrowful Ditty , likewise would come my sweet Life to save And with true Love and compassionate pitty , pardon the frowns which to him I gave ; He could no longer stand to hear her , but did approach with right good will , To his fair Silvia in order to cheer her vowing he would be her true love still . Thanks be to Cupid that gain'd me thy favour , my drooping Spirits once more to raise , Now do I promise to Love thée for ever , and in these Valleys wee 'll spend our days , Can there be any greater blessing , my wounded heart with joy to fill , Then my fair Silvia , here to be possessing , whom I do Love and admire still .
