With civil whisper cries, My Lady Sir!———
At this, Goltho alights, as swiftly post
As Posters mount; by ling'ring loath to erre,
As Wind-bound Men, whose sloth their first Wind lost.

And when his Friend advis'd him to take care;
He gravely, as a Man new potent grown,
Protests he shall in all his Fortunes share;
And to the House invites him as his own.

Does hope, since thus blind Love leads him astray,
Where a false Saint he can so soon adore,
That he to Birtha ne'r will find the way.

Where Dalga with black eyes does Sinners draw;
And with her voice holds fast repenting Men;
To whose warm Jett, light Goltho is but Straw.

Her Bed, as Brides; and richer than a Throne,
And sweeter seem'd than the Circania's Nest,
Though built in Eastern Groves of Cinamon.

The price of Princes pleasure, who her love
(Though but false ware) at rates so costly bought
The wealth of many, but may hourly prove
Spoils to some one, by whom her self is caught.

She sway'd by sinfull Beauties destiny,
Finds her Tyrannick Pow'r must now expire,
Who meant to kindle Goltho in her Eye,
But to her breast has brought the raging fire.
