The Hen-peck'd husband, or, Easy John/The lover's summons
THE LOVER'S SUMMONS.
ARISE thou miſtreſs of my heart,
and do not me diſdain;
Come now and quickly take the part
of me, your conquer'd ſwain.
To you alone I am a ſlave,
there's none on earth can cure,
The flame that in my breaſt I have,
for you I do endure.
⟨Come⟩ now dear nymph and eaſe my ſmart,
of me your darling ſwain,
My love for you within my heart,
does conſtantly remain.
Now we in Hymen's bands will wed,
our hearts united be therefore,
In love live without any dread,
in joys for evermore.
