That prince must govern with a gentle hand
Who will have love comply with his command.

1068. A DIALOGUE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND
MISTRESS ELIZA WHEELER, UNDER
THE NAME OF AMARYLLIS.
Her. My dearest love, since thou wilt go,
And leave me here behind thee,
For love or pity let me know
The place where I may find thee.
And leave me here behind thee,
For love or pity let me know
The place where I may find thee.
Ama. In country meadows pearl'd with dew,
And set about with lilies,
There, filling maunds with cowslips, you
May find your Amaryllis.
And set about with lilies,
There, filling maunds with cowslips, you
May find your Amaryllis.
Her. What have the meads to do with thee,
Or with thy youthful hours?
Live thou at Court, where thou mayst be
The queen of men, not flowers.
Let country wenches make 'em fine
With posies, since 'tis fitter
For thee with richest gems to shine,
And like the stars to glitter.
Or with thy youthful hours?
Live thou at Court, where thou mayst be
The queen of men, not flowers.
Let country wenches make 'em fine
With posies, since 'tis fitter
For thee with richest gems to shine,
And like the stars to glitter.
Ama. You set too high a rate upon
A shepherdess so homely.
A shepherdess so homely.
