By aphra behn

a thousand martyrs i have made,

all sacrificed to my desire;

a thousand beauties have betrayed,

that languish in resistless fire.

the untamed heart to hand i brought,

and fixed the wild and wandering thought.

i never vowed nor sighed in vain

but both, though false, were well received.

the fair are to give us pain,

and what they wish is soon believed.

and though i talked of wounds and smart,

love’s pleasures only touched my heart.

alone the glory and the spoil

i always laughing bore away;

the triumphs, without pain or toil,

without the hell, the heav’n of joy.

and while i thus at random rove

despise the fools that whine for love.
