Whither would my passion run? <br />Shall I fly her, or pursue her? <br />Losing her I am undone, <br />Yet would not gain her to undo her. <br /> <br />Ye tyrants of the human breast, <br />Love and Reason, cease your war, <br />And order Death to give me rest, <br />So each will equal triumph share.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/songs-set-to-music-2-set-by-mr-purcell/
