The Restitution . HEr keen Disdain pierct deep my Breast ; The gaping Orifice dismist The dearest drops my Heart contain'd : I ventur'd to her and complain'd , To ease my smart and still my Fears ; She wept and Bath'd my Wound with Tears . Blood will have Blood ( they say ) and be Repaid in Kind . 'Tis false in Me . For Sylvia wound me yet more deep , If after you vouchsafe to weep , ( So much I prize your Tears ) I'l own You have not satisfi'd Alone , But so ore-recompenct my wrongs , that I Bleeding to Death shall Sylvia's Debtor Dye .
