Aphra Behn - Song: “How strongly does my passion flow”
Work rating: Low

HOW strongly does my passion flow,	
Divided equally ’twixt two?	
Damon had ne’er subdued my heart,	
Had not Alexis took his part;	
Nor could Alexis powerful prove,	        
Without my Damon’s aid, to gain my love.	
 
When my Alexis present is,	
Then I for Damon sigh and mourn;	
But when Alexis I do miss,	
Damon gains nothing but my scorn.	        
But if it chance they both are by,	
For both alike I languish, sigh, and die.	
 
Cure then, thou mighty wingèd god,	
This restless fever in my blood;	
One golden-pointed dart take back:	        
But which, O Cupid, wilt thou take?	
If Damon’s, all my hopes are crost;	
Or that of my Alexis, I am lost.
