A New Remonstrance

to

His Malignant Mistresse.

Since Beauty's such a tyrant growne
 In thee, I'l now discover,
What grievances can ne'ere be borne
 By any freeborne lover.

Nor is my hart rebellious growne:
 Since thou art still betraying
The trust and power of Beauty's throne,
 It finds no more obaying.

My loves benevolence, I say,
 Though deue was freely given;
