  1. For me then, who have truly spent my blood,
  2. Love, in thy service, and so boldly stood
  3. In Celia's trenches, were't not wisely done,
  4. E'en to retire, and live at peace at home ?
  5. No-might I gain a godhead to disclaim
  6. My glorious title to my endless flame,
  7. Divinity with scorn I would forswear,
  8. Such sweet, dear, tempting devils women are.
