ABSTRACT
Thofe blows were nothing; I could bear them ever. But angry Cupid, bolting from her eyes, H a t h fhot himfelf into me, like a flame 5 Where now he flings about his burning heat, A s in a furnace, fome ambitious fire W h o f e vent is ftopt. The fgbt is all ivitbin me*

T h e Greeks are ftrong, and lkilful to their ftrength*
Fierce to their fkill, and to their fiercenefs valiant* But I am weaker than a woman's tear, Tamer than fleep, fonder than ignorance ; Lefs valiant than the virgin in the night, And Ikill-lefs as unpra&is'd infancy.
