    1.

    One Day the Amarous Lisander,
    By an impatient Passion sway'd,
    ...
  • 2.
    All trembling in my arms Aminta lay,
    Defending of the bliss I strove to take;
    Raising my rapture by her kind delay,
    Her force so charming was and weak.

    Love in fantastic triumph sat,
    Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd,
    For whom fresh pains he did create,

    All sacrific'd to my desire;
    A thousand Beauties have betray'd,
    That languish in resistless Fire.

    Love in Fantastique Triumph satt,
    Whilst bleeding Hearts around him flow'd,
    For whom Fresh pains he did create,
    And strange Tryanic power he show'd;

    Love in fantastic triumph sate
    Whilst bleeding hearts around him flow'd,
    For whom fresh pains he did create
    And strange tyrannic power he show'd:

Somebody's Song
 by Dorothy Parker

This is what I vow;
He shall have my heart to keep,
Sweetly will we stir and sleep,
