Aphra Behn - Song: “How strongly does my passion flow”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.
