Against Fruition

Fye upon hearts that burn with mutual fire; I hate two minds that breath but one desire: Were I to curse th'unhallow'd sort of men, I'de wish them to love, and be lov'd agen. Love's a Camelion, that lives on meer ayre; And surfets when it comes to grosser fare: 'Tis petty Jealousies, and little fears, Hopes joyn'd with doubts, and joyes with April tears, That crowns our Love with pleasures: these are gone When once we come to full Fruition. Like waking in a morning, when all night Our fancy hath been fed with true delight. Oh! what a stroke't would be! Sure I should die, Should I but hear my mistresse once say, I. That monster expectation feeds too high For any Woman e're to satisfie: And no brave Spirit ever car'd for that Which in Down-beds with ease he could come at. Shee's but an honest whore that yeelds, although She be as cold as ice, as pure as snow: He that enjoys her hath no more to say But keep us Fasting if you'l have us pray. Then fairest Mistresse, hold the power you have, By still denying what we still do crave: In Keeping us in hopes strange things to see That never were, nor are, nor e're shall be.
