From Wit Restored, 165S.
Women.
ONCE I must confess I loved And expected love again.
But, so often as I proved, My expectance was in vain.
Women joy to be attempted, And do glory when they see Themselves from love's force exempted.
And that men captived be.
If they love they can conceal it, And dissemble when they please, Whenas men will straight reveal it And make known their hearts' disease.
84 SPECULUM AMANTJS.
Men must beg and crave their favour, Making many an idle vow, Whilst they, frowar...d in behaviour.
Fain would yield but know not how.
Sweet stol'n-sport to them is grateful, And in heart they wish to have it; Yet they do account it hateful Upon any terms to crave it.
But, would men not go about it, But leave off at all to woo, Ere they would be long without it.
They would beg and crave it too.
By Thomas Carew.
Good Counsel to a Young Maid.
GAZE not on thy beauty's pride, Tender maid, in the false tide That from lovers' eyes do[th] slide.
SPECULUM AMANTIS. 85 Let thy faithful crystal show How thy colours come and go; Beauty takes a foil from woe.
