<L>AS I went forth to view the Spring,</L>
<L>which <HI>Flora</HI> had Adorned,</L>
<L>In gorgeous Rayment every thing,</L>
<L>a Winters rage out-&s;corned;</L>
<L>I ca&s;t mine Eye and did e&s;py</L>
<L>a Youth, that made great Clamour,</L>
<L>And drawing nigh, I heard him cry,</L>
<L>it's <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Upon his Face he lay along,</L>
<L>hard by a Chry&s;tal River,</L>
<L>And mournfully his doleful Song,</L>
<L>with &s;ighs he did deliver;</L>
<L>Wo worth her Face, her comely Grace,</L>
<L>for which no man can &s;hun her,</L>
<L>Her &s;plendid Rays cuts off my days,</L>
<L>for <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<P><FIGURE>

<LG>
<L>Her Chry&s;tal Eyes like Comets fair,</L>
<L>bright <HI>Phoebus</HI> Beams out-&s;hining,</L>
<L>Hath caught my Heart in <HI>Cupid</HI>'s Snare,</L>
<L>and makes my dye with pining;</L>
<L>Fond fooli&s;h Nature did not well,</L>
<L>&s;o curiou&s;ly to frame her,</L>
<L>Her Beauty fair makes me de&s;pair,</L>
<L>cry <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>You Chry&s;tal Streams that &s;weetly glide,</L>
<L>he Partners of my Mourning,</L>
<L>You fragrant Fields and Meadows wide,</L>
<L>condemn her for her &s;corning;</L>
<L>Let e'ery Tree a Witne&s;s be,</L>
<L>how ju&s;tly I may blame her,</L>
<L>You chanting Birds, note the&s;e my VVords,</L>
<L>it's <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I &s;igh and langui&s;h for her &s;ake,</L>
<L>ten thou&s;and Griefs are growing,</L>
<L>My fainting Heart I find will break,</L>
<L>while dying Tears are flowing;</L>
<L>Here do I find her mo&s;t unkind,</L>
<L>therefore I needs mu&s;t blame her,</L>
<L>Her Beauty bright de&s;troys me quite,</L>
<L>it's <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Love Conquers more than Sword or S<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 span"></L>
<L>or any VVarlike Power;</L>
<L>Renowned Kings are forc'd to yield,</L>
<L>no &s;trong Defenced Tower</L>
<L>Can e'er with&s;tand Love's armed Band</L>
<L>and now I here mu&s;t name her,</L>
<L>Fair <HI>Cynthia</HI> &s;he hath ruin'd me,</L>
<L>'tis <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Had &s;he been kind as &s;he is fair,</L>
<L>&s;he might have been admired,</L>
<L>In every place without compare,</L>
<L>who hath my Death con&s;pired.</L>
<L>This &s;aid, his breath began to fail,</L>
<L>he could not <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="4 letters">k but &s;tammer,</L>
<L>Ae &s;ighted &s;ore, <GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 word"> &s;aid no more,</L>
<L>'tis <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus I perceived him near his Death,</L>
<L>and ran in ha&s;te to &s;ave him,</L>
<L>But quickly he re&s;ign'd his Breath,</L>
<L>&s;o deep a VVound Love gave him;</L>
<L>Thus for his &s;ake, this Vow I'll make</L>
<L>my Tungue &s;hall &s;till Defame her,</L>
<L>Upon his Her&s;e, I'll write this Ver&s;e,</L>
<L>it's <HI>Omnia vincit Amor.</HI></L>
