AMintas loved Cloris that fair one , And Cloris lov'd Amintas though unknown Which made her cry to Cupid out for aid , Help Cupid help , a poor distressed Maid : why should the God of love deal thus with me , To give a wound that cannot cured be . Have I a tongue , and yet I dare not speak ? Have I a heart , and yet it will not break ? Have I a hand , and yet I dare not Write , To him that is my love and hearts delight ? why should , &c. Men they may speak , but Maidens Modesty , Forbids the same , O cruel Destiny , How should the secrets of our hearts be shown , When by our words we dare not make it known , why should , &c. I find my eyes too soon deceive my heart , There is no balsom that can cure my smart , But the sweet countenance of my dearest friend , May crown my joys , and bring my grief to end : why should , &c. How happy are they that ne'r receiv'd a wound , Nor yet have been in Cupids pound ? How happy are they that nothing can remove , That never felt the power or force of love ? why should , &c. Why do I live to see this dismal day ? I may not speak , nor yet for pitty pray , I may not speak , nor make my grievance kn●… Or yet to any can I make my Moan ? why should the God of love deal thus with ●e , to give a wound , a wound ; that cannot cured be

AENeas with Queen Dido plaid the thief , He stole her heart , & left her full of grief , But my Amintas little knows that I , Do love him now with true fidelity : why should the God of love deal thus with me , to give a wound , a wound , that cannot cured be Tell him you wandring spirits in the air , Where I remain whom he esteems so dear , Let him not pine nor languish thus for me , Cloris , Cloris , Amintas loveth thee , why should , &c. Farewel my flock , for she that 's thus unsure , And led away with every look and lure , What care can she have of her tender sheep , When as her self she can no better keep ? why should , &c. Now must I wander over Hills and Rocks , To find Amintas and forsake my Flocks : Farewel content , and farewel liberty , Cloris is now in pain , but cannot dye : why should , &c. Bashful Amintas thou hast known my heart , Why dost not thou thy mind to me impart ? Tell him you wandring spirits in the Air , Had he done so , I would have eas'd his care , why should , &c. Amintas comes , and hearing her say so , Quickly step'd in , and eas'd her of her woe , Thus love you see can ever find the way , To make young men , and pretty Lasses obey : Now Cloris thou canst not Cupid blame , He gave a wound , and salve to cure the same .
