Full Lyrics
He that loves a rosy cheek,
Or a coral lip admires,
Or from starlike eyes doth seek
Fuel to maintain his fires;
As old Time makes these decay,
So his flames must waste away.
But a smooth and steadfast mind,
Gentle thoughts and calm desires,
Hearts with equal love combined,
Kindle neverdying fires;
Where these are not I despise}
Lovely cheeks, or lips, or eyes.
No tears Celia now shall win,
My resolved heart to return;
I have searched thy soul within,
And find nought but pride and scorn,
I have learned thy arts, and now
Can disdain as much as thou.
