. Wit and mirth: or, Pills to purge melancholy; being a collection of the best merry ballads and songs, old and new. Fitted to all humours, having each their proper tune for either voice, or instrument: most of the songs being new set ... F Amelias Heart is still the same,Hard and Cold as Winters Morning,Tho my Love is ever burning;Yet no Frowns or Smiles can everMelt her Ice, or cool my Fever,Melt her Ice, or cool my Fever. So long I talk and think of Love, All the Groves and Streams can Name her; All the Nymphs and Ecchoes blame her, If she keeps her cruel Fashion, Nought but Death can ease

Of all the Charms that Lovers have,All the Sighs, the Groans, the Anguish,All the Looks with which I languish;Moves not her to any Feeling,Beauty takes Delight in Killing.

Waste not your Youth in Coy disdain,Hope not your Beautys pleasing Reign,By ways of Rigour to maintain \If we to Kings Obedience owe,Or to the Gods with Incense go,Tis for the Blessing they bestow.
