Cariclea. O cruel power of love! why dost thou triumph In lovers reckless pains? what glory can Be added to thy deity in seeking The overthrow of thy poor liberty? Take here this tribute of my tears, these sighs, Sent from a gentle heart, convey them hence That they may meet Theagnies, and flow With his as from one fountain, from one head.
