| William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Restoration Verse. 1910. | | | | Novo Inamoramento | | By Sir Edward Sherburne (1618–1702) |
| | | AND yet anew entangled, see | |
| Him who escaped the snare so late! | |
| A truce, no league, thou mad’st with me, | |
| False love, which now is out of date: | |
| Fool, to believe the fire quite out, alas, | 5 |
| Which only laid asleep in embers was. | |
| |
| The sickness not at first past cure, | |
| By this relapse despiseth art. | |
| Now, treacherous boy, thou hast me sure, | |
| Playing the wanton with my heart, | 10 |
| As foolish children that a bird have got | |
| Slacken the thread, but not untie the knot. | | | | |
