This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1703 Excerpt: ...to be alter'd by such mean Thoughts. I look upon thy Beauty to be perfected by its Duration. He's not a true Lover that loves only with his Eyes. Fools dote in Perspective. I am for a nearer View. The Beauty If admire is resident in the Soul, That alone has' rais'd all the most violent Passions in me which a Lover ever experienc'd.

Both when I am in and out of thy sight, I subsist by pure Miracle. I sufficiently experience that Truth which says, that a Lovers Soul generally resides in the Object belov'd. Remov'd from thee, I have no Sence but to Grieve, no Words but to Complain, no Eyes but to Weep, nor no Breast: but to fend forth Sighs. If any one speaks to me, I hear him not j if he wrongs me I mind him not, and if he strikes me I feel him not; If I had settled my Affections on any other but Julia,-1 should have been Melancholly, and lamented the loss of my dear Liberty; but now on the contrary I rejoice in that of my Freedom, since I will flatter my self, I shall thereby gain her Affections which are preferable to all other humane Happiness. Beauty brought glory to Greece, by the ruin of Troy. Why then should I grudge grudge being depriv'd of my Liberty by it? He that has not the fame fence of thy Charms never div'd into thy Mind, nor look'd on thy Face. It isnot in the power of the most extravagant HyperlreU to reach the height of thy Perfections.
