Song from Abdelazar
Love in fantastic triumph sate
Whilst bleeding hearts around him flowed,
For whom fresh pains he did create
And strange tyrannic power he showed;
From thy bright eyes he took his fire
Which round about in sport he hurled,
But 'twas from mine he took desire
Enough t' undo the amorous world.
From me he took his sighs and tears,
From thee his pride and cruelty,
From me his languishments and fears,
And every killing dart from thee;
Thus thou and I the God have armed
And set him up a Deity,
But my poor heart alone is harmed
Whilst thine the victor is, and free.
– Aphra Behn (1677)
