814:1,1278[A ]| But though my Pleasure were thus vast and high, 814:1,1279[A ]| Yet Love's insatiate Luxury, 814:1,1280[A ]| Still wished revealed the unknown Mystery. 814:1,1281[A ]| But still \Love\ importuned, nor could I rest, 814:1,1282[A ]| So$5#1$ often, and impatiently he pressed, 814:1,1283[A ]| That$3$ I the lovely Virgin would invite, 814:1,1284[A ]| To$4$ the so$5#1$ worshipped \Temple of Delight\. 814:1,1285[A ]| By$4$ all the Lover's Arts I strove to$9$ move, 814:1,1286[A ]| And watch the softest Minutes of her Love, 814:1,1287[A ]| Which$6#1$ against all my Vows and Prayers were proof. 814:1,1288[A ]| Alas she loved, but did not love enough: 814:1,1289[A ]| And I could no$2$ returns but Anger get, 814:1,1290[A ]| Her Heart was not entirely conquered yet; 814:1,1291[A ]| For$4$ liking, I mistook her Complisance, 814:1,1292[A ]| And that$6#2$ for$4$ Love; when it was her Confidence. 814:1,1293[A ]| But it was not long my Sighs I did employ, 814:1,1294[A ]| Before she raised me to$4$ the height ofJoy. 814:1,1295[A ]| And all my Fears and Torments to$9$ remove, 814:1,1296[A ]| Yields I shall lead her to$4$ the \Court of LOVE\. 814:1,1297[A ]| Here \Lysidas\ thou thinks me sure and blest, 814:1,1298[A ]| With Recompense for$4$ all my past unrest;

814:1,1309[A ]| His violent Hands he on$4$ \Aminta\ laid, 814:1,1310[A ]| And out of mine snatched the dear trembling Maid; 814:1,1311[A ]| So$5#1$ suddenly as hindered my defence, 814:1,1312[A ]| And she could only say in$4$ parting thence. 814:1,1313@b | \Forgive\ Lisander \what by$4$ force I do,\ 814:1,1314@b | \Since nothing else can ravish me from you;\ 814:1,1315@b | \Make no$2$ resistance, I obey\ 9Devoir. 814:1,1316@b | \Who$6#1$ values not thy Tears, thy Force or Prayer,\ 814:1,1317@b | \Retain thy Faith and Love\ Aminta \still,\ 814:1,1318@b | \Since she abandons thee against her Will$0$.\ 814:1,1319[A ]| Immoveable I remained with this surprise, 814:1,1320[A ]| Nor durst reply so$5#1$ much as with my Eyes. 814:1,1321[A ]| I saw her go, but was of Sense bereaved, 814:1,1322[A ]| And only knew from what I heard, I lived; 814:1,1323[A ]| Yes, yes, I heard her last Commands, and thence 814:1,1324[A ]| By$4$ violent degrees retrieved my Sense. 814:1,1325[A ]| Ye Gods in$4$ this your Mercy was severe, 814:1,1326[A ]| You might have spared the useless favour here. 814:1,1327[A ]| But the first Thoughts my Reason did conceive, 814:1,1328[A ]| Were to$9$ pursue the injurious Fugitive. 814:1,1329[A ]| Raving, that$6#2$ way I did my haste direct, 814:1,1330[A ]| But once more met the Reverend \Respect\, 814:1,1331[A ]| From whom I strove myself to$9$ disengage, 814:1,1332[A ]| And feigned a calmness to$9$ disguise my Rage. 814:1,1333[A ]| In$4$ vain was all the Cheat, he soon perceived, 814:1,1334[A ]| Spite of my Smiles, how much, and why I grieved; 814:1,1335[A ]| Saw my despairs, and what I meant to$9$ do, 814:1,1336[A ]| And begged I would the rash Design forego: 814:1,1337[A ]| A thousand dangers he did represent, 814:1,1338[A ]| To$9$ win me from the desperate attempt. 814:1,1339[A ]| I ever found his Counsel just and good, 814:1,1340[A ]| And now resolved it should not be withstood; 814:1,1341[A ]| Thus he overcame my Rage, but did not free, 814:1,1342[A ]| My Soul from Grief's more painful Tyranny; 814:1,1343[A ]| Grief though more soft, did not less cruel prove, 814:1,1344[A ]| Madness is easier far than hopeless Love. 814:1,1345[A ]| I parted thus, but knew not what to$9$ do; 814:1,1346[A ]| Nor where I went; nor did I care to$9$ know; 814:1,1347[A ]| With folded Arms, with weeping Eyes declined, 814:1,1348[A ]| I search the unknown shade, I could not find, 814:1,1349[A ]| And mixed my constant Sighs with flying Wind. 814:1,1350[A ]| By$4$ slow unsteady steps the Paths I trace, 814:1,1351[A ]| Which$6#1$ undesigned conduct me to$4$ a place 814:1,1352[A ]| Fit for$4$ a Soul distressed;

814:1,1358[A ]| Here in$4$ the midst and thickest of the Wood, 814:1,1359[A ]| Covered with bending Shades a Castle stood, 814:1,1360[A ]| Where \Absence\ that$6#2$ dejected Maid remains, 814:1,1361[A ]| Who$6#1$ nothing but her Sorrow entertains. 814:1,0000[' ]| 814:1,1362[A ]| Her mourning languid Eyes are rarely shown, 814:1,1363[A ]| Unless to$4$ those afflicted like$4$ her own;

814:1,1368[A ]| Yet in$4$ despite of Grief there does appear, 814:1,1369[A ]| The ruined Monuments of what was fair, 814:1,1370[A ]| Before cruel Love and Grief had took possession there 814:1,1371[A ]| These made her old without the aid of Years; 814:1,1372[A ]| Worn out, and faint with lingering hopes and fears, 814:1,1373[A ]| She seldom answers ought but with her Tears. 814:1,1374[A ]| No$2$ Train attends, she only is obeyed 814:1,1375[A ]| By$4$ Melancholy, that$6#2$ soft, silent Maid: 814:1,1376[A ]| A Maid that$6#1$ fits her Humour every way, 814:1,1377[A ]| With whom she passes all the tedious day: 814:1,1378[A ]| No$2$ other object can her Mind content, 814:1,1379[A ]| She Feeds and Flatters all her languishment; 814:1,1380[A ]| The noisy Streams that$6#1$ from high Mountains fall; 814:1,1381[A ]| And water all the Neighbouring flowery Vale: 814:1,1382[A ]| The Murmurs of the Rivulets that$6#1$ glide, 814:1,1383[A ]| Against the bending Sedges on$4$ the side; 814:1,1384[A ]| Of mournful Birds the sad and tuneful Notes, 814:1,1385[A ]| The Bleats of straggling Lambs, and new weaned Goats: 814:1,1386[A ]| The distant Pipe of some lone Mountain Swain, 814:1,1387[A ]| Who$6#1$ to$4$ his injured Passion fits his strain;

814:1,1393[A ]| Like$4$ her to$4$ Woods and Fountains I retreat, 814:1,1394[A ]| And urge the pitying Echoes to$9$ repeat 814:1,1395[A ]| My tale of \Love\, and at each Period found 814:1,1396[A ]| \Aminta's\ name, and bear it all around, 814:1,1397[A ]| Whilst listening Voices do the charm reply, 814:1,1398[A ]| And lost in$4$ mixing Air, together die. 814:1,1399[A ]| There minutes like$4$ dull days creep slowly on$5$, 814:1,1400[A ]| And every day I drag an Age along;

814:1,2083[A ]| But by$4$ degrees my Soul its sense retrieved; 814:1,2084[A ]| Shame and Confusion let me know I lived. 814:1,2085[A ]| I saw the trembling disappointed Maid, 814:1,2086[A ]| With charming angry Eyes my fault upbraid, 814:1,2087[A ]| While Love and Spite no$2$ kind Excuse affords, 814:1,2088[A ]| My Rage and Softness was above dull Words, 814:1,2089[A ]| And my Misfortune only was expressed, 814:1,2090[A ]| By$4$ Sighing out my Soul into her Breast: 814:1,2091[A ]| A thousand times I breathed \Aminta's\ name, 814:1,2092[A ]| \Aminta\! called! but that$6#2$ increased my flame. 814:1,2093[A ]| And as the Tide of Love flowed in$5$, so$5#1$ fast 814:1,2094[A ]| My Low, my Ebbing Vigor out did haste. 814:1,2095[A ]| But it was not long, thus idly, and undone 814:1,2096[A ]| I lay, before vast Seas came rolling on$5$, 814:1,2097[A ]| Spring-tides of Joy, that$6#1$ the rich neighboring shore 814:1,2098[A ]| And down the fragrant Banks it proudly bore, 814:1,2099[A ]| Over-flowed and ravished all great Nature's store. 814:1,2100[A ]| Swollen to$4$ Luxurious heights, no$2$ bounds it knows, 814:1,2101[A ]| But wantonly it Triumphs where it flows. 814:1,2102[A ]| Some God inform Thee of my blest Estate, 814:1,2103[A ]| But all their Powers divert thee from my Fate. 814:1,2104[A ]| It was thus we lived the wonder of the Groves, 814:1,2105[A ]| Famed for$4$ our Love, our mutual constant Loves. 814:1,2106[A ]| Young Amorous Heroes at her Feet did fall, 814:1,2107[A ]| Despaired and died, whilst I was Lord of All; 814:1,2108[A ]| Her Empire over my Soul each moment grew, 814:1,2109[A ]| New Charms each minute did appear in$4$ view, 814:1,2110[A ]| And each appointment Ravishing and New. 814:1,2111[A ]| Fonder each hour my tender Heart became, 814:1,2112[A ]| And that$6#2$ which$6#1$ used to$9$ allay, increased my Flame. 814:1,2113[A ]| But on$4$ a day, oh may no$2$ cheerful Ray, 814:1,2114[A ]| Of the Sun's Light, bless that$6#2$ succeeding day! 814:1,2115[A ]| May the black hours from the account be torn, 814:1,2116[A ]| May no$2$ fair thing upon$4$ thy day be born! 814:1,2117[A ]| May fate and Hell appoint thee for$4$ their own, 814:1,2118[A ]| May no$2$ good deed be in$4$ thy Circle done! 814:1,2119[A ]| May Rapes, Conspiracies and Murders stay, 814:1,2120[A ]| Till thou comest on$5$, and hatch them in$4$ thy day! 814:1,2121[A ]| ~~ It was on$4$ this day all Joyful Gay and Fair, 814:1,2122[A ]| Fond as desire, and wanton as the Air; 814:1,2123[A ]| \Aminta\ did with me to$4$ the blest Bower repair. 814:1,2124[A ]| Beneath a Beechy Shade, a flowery Bed, 814:1,2125[A ]| Officious \Cupids\ for$4$ our Pleasure spread, 814:1,2126[A ]| Where never did the Charmer before impart, 814:1,2127[A ]| More Joy, more Rapture to$4$ my ravished Heart: 814:1,2128[A ]| It was all the first; it was all beginning Fire! 814:1,2129[A ]| It was all new Love! new Pleasure! new Desire! 814:1,2130[A ]| ~~ Here stop my Soul ~~ 814:1,2131[A ]| Stop thy career of Vanity and Pride, 814:1,2132[A ]| And only say, ~~ \it was here\ Aminta \died\: 814:1,2133[A ]| The fleeting Soul as quickly disappears, 814:1,2134[A ]| As leaves blown off with Winds, or falling Stars; 814:1,2135[A ]| And Life its flight assumed with such a pace; 814:1,2136[A ]| It took no$2$ farewell of her lovely Face 814:1,2137[A ]| The Fugitive not one Beauty did surprise, 814:1,2138[A ]| It scarce took time to$9$ languish in$4$ her eyes, 814:1,2139[A ]| But on$4$ my Bosom bowed her charming Head; 814:1,2140[A ]| And sighing, these surprising words she said: 814:1,2141[A ]| "Joy of my Soul, my faithful tender Youth, 814:1,2142[A ]| Lord of my Vows, and Miracle of Truth: 814:1,2143[A ]| Thou soft obliger ~~ : of thy Sex the best, 814:1,2144[A ]| Thou blessing too Extreme to$9$ be possessed; 814:1,2145[A ]| The Angry God, designing we must part, 814:1,2146[A ]| Do render back the Treasure of thy Heart; 814:1,2147[A ]| When in$4$ some new fair Breast, it finds a room, 814:1,2148[A ]| And I shall lie ~~ neglected ~~ in$4$ my Tomb ~~ 814:1,2149[A ]| Remember ~~ oh remember ~~ the fair she, 814:1,2150[A ]| Can never love thee, darling Youth, like$4$ me. 814:1,2151[A ]| Then with a Sigh she sunk into my Breast, 814:1,2152[A ]| While her fair Eyes, her last farewell expressed; 814:1,2153[A ]| To$4$ aiding Gods I cried; but they were Deaf, 814:1,2154[A ]| And no$2$ kind power afforded me relief: 814:1,2155[A ]| I call her name, I weep, I rave and faint, 814:1,2156[A ]| And none but Echos answer my Complaint; 814:1,2157[A ]| I Kiss and Bathe her stiffening Face with Tears, 814:1,2158[A ]| Press it to$4$ mine, as cold and pale as hers; 814:1,2159[A ]| The fading Roses of her Lips I press, 814:1,2160[A ]| But no$2$ kind Word the silenced Prattlers will$1$ confess; 814:1,2161[A ]| Her lovely Eyes I kiss, and call upon$4$, 814:1,2162[A ]| But all their wonted answering Rhetoric's gone. 814:1,2163[A ]| Her charming little Hands in$4$ vain I ask, 814:1,2164[A ]| Those little Hands no$2$ more my Neck shall grasp; 814:1,2165[A ]| No$2$ more about my Face her Fingers play 814:1,2166[A ]| Nor brede my Hair, or the vain Curls display, 814:1,2167[A ]| No$2$ more her Tongue beguiling Stories tell, 814:1,2168[A ]| Whose wondrous Wit could grace a Tale so$5#1$ well; 814:1,2169[A ]| All, all is fled, to$4$ Death's cold Mansion gone, 814:1,2170[A ]| And I am left benighted and undone, 814:1,2171[A ]| And every day my Fate is hasting on$5$. 814:1,2172[A ]| From the enchanting Bower I madly fly, 814:1,2173[A ]| That$6#2$ Bower that$6#1$ now no$2$ more affords me Joy. 814:1,2174[A ]| \Love\ had not left for$4$ me one Bliss in$4$ store, 814:1,2175[A ]| Since my \Aminta\ could dispense no$2$ more. 814:1,2176[A ]| ~~ Thence to$4$ a silent \Desert\ I advance, 814:1,2177[A ]| And called the \Desert of Remembrance\; 814:1,2178[A ]| A solitude upon$4$ a Mountain placed, 814:1,2179[A ]| All gloomy round, and wondrous high and vast, 814:1,2180[A ]| From whence \Love's\ Island all appears in$4$ view, 814:1,2181[A ]| And distant Prospects renders near and true; 814:1,2182[A ]| Each Bank, each Bower, each dear inviting Shade, 814:1,2183[A ]| That$6#1$ to$4$ our Sacred Loves was conscious made. 814:1,2184[A ]| Each flowery Bed, each Thicket and each Grove, 814:1,2185[A ]| Where I have lain Charmed with \Aminta's\ Love. 814:1,2186[A ]| (Wherever she cheered the day, and blest the Night) 814:1,2187[A ]| Eternally are present to$4$ my Sight. 814:1,2188[A ]| Wherever I turn, the Landscape does confess, 814:1,2189[A ]| Something that$6#1$ calls to$4$ mind past happiness. 814:1,2190[A ]| This \Lysidas\, this is my wretched state, 814:1,2191[A ]| It is here I languish, and attend my Fate. 814:1,2192[A ]| But before I go, it would wondrous Pleasure be, 814:1,2193[A ]| (If such a thing can ever arrive to$4$ me) 814:1,2194[A ]| To$9$ find some Pity (\Lysidas\) from thee. 814:1,2195[A ]| Then I should take the Wind, and upward fly, 814:1,2196[A ]| And lose the Sight of this dull World with Joy. 814:1,2197[A ]| Your \Lysander\.
