When in rage he came there, Beholding how steep The sides did appear, And the bottom how deep, His torments projecting And sadly reflecting, That a lover forsaken A new love may get; But a neck, when once broken, Can never be set: And that he could die Whenever he would; But that he could live But as long as he could: How grievous soever The torment might grow, He scorn'd to endeavour To finish it so. WHEN ENRAGED HE CAME THERE BEHOLDING HOW STEEP THE SIDES DID APPEAR AND THE BOTTOM HOW DEEP HIS TORMENTS PROJECTING AND SADLY REFLECTING THAT A LOVER FORSAKEN A NEW LOVE MAY GET BUT A NECK WHEN ONCE BROKEN CAN NEVER BE SET AND THAT HE COULD DIE WHENEVER HE WOULD BUT THAT HE COULD LIVE BUT AS LONG AS HE COULD HOW GRIEVOUS SOEVER THE TORMENT MIGHT GROW HE SCORNED TO ENDEAVOUR TO FINISH IT SO

Y Z Rivals OF all the torments, all the cares, With which our lives are curst; Of all the plagues a lover bears, Sure rivals are the worst! By partners in each other kind Afflictions easier grow; In love alone we hate to find Companions of our woe. Sylvia, for all the pangs you see Are labouring in my breast, I beg not you would favour me, Would you but slight the rest! How great soe'er your rigours are, With them alone I'll cope; I can endure my own despair, But not another's hope. William Walsh The Despairing Lover DISTRACTED with care, For Phillis the fair, Since nothing could move her, Poor Damon, her lover, Resolves in despair No longer to languish, Nor bear so much anguish; But, mad with his love, To a precipice goes; Where a leap from above Would soon finish his woes.
