Disdaine returned

He that love's a Rosie Cheek

or a Corall lip admires;

or from Starlike eyes doth seek

fuell to maintain his fires,

as old time makes these decay,

so his flames must wafte away.

But a smooth and steadfast minde,

Gentle thoughts, and calme desires,

Hearts with equall love combin'd,

Kindle never-dying fires:

Where these are not, I dispise

Lovely Cheekes, or Lips, or Eyes.

Cælia, now no tears can win

My resolv'd heart to return;

I have search'd thy soul within,

And find nought but pride and scorn:

I have learn'd those Arts, and now

Can disdaine as much as thou.

Some God in my revenge convey

that Love to her I cast away.
