AN ELEGY OF A WOMAN'S HEART. O, FAITHLESS World! and thy more faithless part, The true Shop of Variety! where sits And fevers of Desire, and pangs of Love; Why was She born to please! or I, to trust Suff'ring her eyes to govern my despair; And fruit of time rewarded with untruth, Untrue She was: yet I believed her eyes, Till I was taught, that Love was but a School Or sought She more, by triumphs of denial, How far her smiles commanded my weakness! Excuse no more thy folly! But, for cure, As well thy shame, as Passions that were vain! To know, That Love, lodged in a Woman's Heart, How happy is he born and taught, Whose Passions, not his masters are! Whose soul is still prepared for death! Untied unto the World by care Of public fame, or private breath! Who envies none that chance doth raise; Who hath his life from rumours freed! Who, GOD doth, late and early, pray, And entertains the harmless day With a religious book, or friend! This man is freed from servile bands Lord of himself, though not of lands; ON THE SUDDEN RESTRAINT OF [ROBERT CARR], EARL OF SOMERSET; THEN FALLING FROM FAVOUR. DAZZLED thus with height of Place, No man marks the narrow space Then, since Fortune's favours fade, But if Greatness be so blind As to trust in Towers of Air: Let it be with Goodness lined, That, at least, the Fall be fair. Then, though darkened, you shall say, But proves, at night, a bed of down!' THE END OF THE SHAKESPEARE ANTHOLOGY. FIRST LINES AND NOTES.
