HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 45, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Thee for thy virtues I alone admire
Last Line: When we two, one, have both a diff'rent mind?
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


Thee for thy virtues I alone admire,
Azile mine, but mine no more thou art;
Yet canst thou not those raging flames expire
Of Love, unless thou hast a double heart:
O double not my pains (my dearest love)
Nor let the torments of my soul increase,
For private envy will all truth reprove.
That kingdom safest lives that lives in peace:
How can we then a true concordance find,
When we two, one, have both a diff'rent mind?
