Abraham Cowley - She Loves And She Confesses Too Lyrics

She loves and she confesses too
There's then at last no more to do;
The happy work's entirely done
Enter the town which thou hast won;
The fruits of conquest now begin
Lo, triumph, enter in
What's this, ye Gods? What can it be?
Remains there still an enemy?
Bold Honour stands up in the gate
And would yet capitulate
Have I o'ercome all real foes
And shall this phantom me oppose?
Noisy nothing, stalking shade
By what witchcraft wert thou made
Thou empty cause of solid harms?
But I shall find out counter charms
Thy airy devilship to remove
From this circle here of love
Sure I shall rid myself of thee
By the night's obscurity
And obscurer secrecy;
Unlike to ev'ry other spright
Thou attempt'st not men to affright
Nor appear'st but in the light
