132. THE WOUNDED HEART

Come, bring your sampler, and with art

Draw in't a wounded heart,

And dropping here and there;

Not that I think that any dart

Can make your's bleed a tear,

Or pierce it any where;

Yet do it to this end,--that I

May by

This secret see,

Though you can make

That heart to bleed, your's ne'er will ache

For me.
