First Line: I plaid with love, as with the fire
Last Line: The fire scortcht my heart.
Subject(s): Love


1. I plaid with Love, as with the fire
The wanton Satyre did;
Nor did I know, or co'd descry
What under there was hid.

2. That Satyre he but burnt his lips;
(But min's the greater smart)
For kissing Loves dissembling chips,
The fire scortcht my heart.
