A58488	Advice to lovers: or, Certain rules of behaviour shewing them how to demean themselves, so as not to miscarry in the grand affair of love. Wherein also the pretty tricks, odd humours, and fantastick carriage of some paramours, together with several pleasant passages relating to amours, and courtship, are observ'd and describ'd. By W. R. Gent.	W. R.	1680 (1680)	Wing R93; ESTC R219657	11,900	37

if_o the_o lover_n be_v so_o sheepish_a and_o bashful_a that_o he_o be_v ashamed_a to_o speak_v yet_o let_v he_o not_o fear_v to_o write_v and_o if_o he_o be_v wise_a before_o he_o transact_v any_o such_o thing_n with_o a_o woman_n let_v he_o be_v sure_a that_o he_o do_v not_o offend_v in_o it_o all_o woman_n desire_v to_o be_v ask_v and_o entreat_v though_o they_o resolve_v to_o deny_v the_o favour_n now_o in_o try_v whether_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o repulse_n or_o not_o let_v he_o do_v it_o either_o by_o word_n or_o letter_n so_o modest_o and_o wary_o and_o withal_o so_o doubtful_o that_o she_o may_v have_v room_n and_o scope_n if_o she_o please_v to_o pretend_v and_o dissemble_v that_o she_o understand_v nothing_o of_o love_n in_o the_o case_n and_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n if_o there_o be_v any_o danger_n he_o may_v excuse_v himself_o and_o say_v he_o do_v it_o for_o some_o other_o end_n namely_o for_o that_o enjoyment_n of_o that_o communion_n and_o familiarity_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v cherish_v among_o friend_n but_o he_o must_v not_o affirm_v it_o so_o religious_o but_o that_o afterward_o he_o may_v deny_v it_o if_o what_o he_o do_v be_v receive_v a_o pledge_n and_o testimony_n of_o his_o kindness_n ii_o for_o those_o that_o be_v too_o rash_a and_o bold_a at_o the_o first_o adventure_n do_v usual_o by_o their_o abrupt_a blunder_a into_o the_o sacred_a presence_n of_o their_o mistress_n make_v their_o prayer_n ineffectual_a in_o regard_n their_o impudence_n very_o much_o disoblige_v who_o pretend_v love_n without_o the_o ceremony_n and_o preface_n of_o their_o officious_a civility_n it_o be_v more_o convenient_a therefore_o rather_o by_o sign_n and_o proof_n than_o by_o word_n and_o letter_n to_o signify_v their_o passion_n one_o sigh_v attend_v with_o respect_n and_o awful_a fear_n be_v a_o more_o certain_a token_n of_o affection_n than_o curiosity_n of_o eloquence_n in_o a_o flood_n of_o word_n beside_o the_o eye_n be_v the_o true_a nuncio_n which_o will_v faithful_o perform_v a_o embassy_n from_o the_o heart_n for_o these_o will_v kindle_v a_o flame_n in_o the_o breast_n of_o she_o that_o be_v so_o much_o adore_v for_o the_o visive_a ray_n be_v dart_v into_o her_o eye_n never_o rest_v till_o they_o arrive_v to_o her_o heart_n where_o mingle_v themselves_o with_o the_o blood_n and_o spirit_n do_v at_o length_n infect_v they_o which_o be_v a_o little_a warm_a and_o assimilate_v to_o the_o agent_n receive_v the_o impression_n of_o the_o arrive_a image_n and_o thus_o whilst_o the_o spark_n of_o beauty_n through_o the_o casement_n of_o the_o eye_n do_v mutual_o light_v upon_o each_o other_o heart_n the_o wisp_n of_o love_n begin_v to_o blaze_v who_o vestal_a flame_n will_v never_o die_v be_v nourish_v by_o the_o fuel_n of_o never-failing_a hope_n so_o that_o we_o safe_o affirm_v that_o the_o eye_n oftentimes_o be_v the_o author_n and_o dispenser_n of_o love_n especial_o if_o they_o retain_v a_o natural_a majestic_a sweetness_n or_o a_o pleasant_a blackness_n or_o a_o cheerful_a caeruleousness_n or_o last_o have_v such_o pierce_a glance_n which_o dive_v and_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a recess_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o eye_n like_o expert_a soldier_n lie_v in_o ambush_n and_o if_o the_o composure_n of_o the_o other_o part_n be_v uniform_a and_o decorous_a they_o entice_v spectator_n and_o inveigle_v they_o at_o a_o distance_n who_o as_o they_o near_o approach_v they_o wound_v with_o their_o dart_n and_o fascinate_v with_o their_o charm_n and_o that_o chief_o when_o they_o mutual_o stare_v with_o direct_a glance_n for_o in_o that_o pleasant_a encounter_n as_o distemper_a optic_n corrupt_v the_o sound_a one_o they_o mutual_o partake_v of_o each_o other_o nature_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o by_o this_o way_n a_o lover_n may_v twinkle_n out_o his_o inclination_n and_o desire_n and_o discover_v the_o grumble_n of_o his_o gizzard_n to_o his_o dear_a lady_n but_o now_o if_o these_o betrayer_n of_o love_n be_v not_o artificial_o manage_v they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o blab_n by_o a_o untoward_a goggle_v the_o disorder_n and_o perturbation_n of_o a_o enamour_a

as_o time_n and_o place_n shall_v require_v tie_v up_o his_o look_n and_o not_o suffer_v they_o to_o straggle_v and_o rove_v unreasonable_o what_o though_o a_o prospect_n of_o her_o beauty_n be_v a_o refreshment_n and_o verdure_n to_o his_o soul_n and_o sight_n yet_o let_v he_o divert_v his_o pigs-neys_a from_o the_o luxury_n of_o that_o look_v which_o may_v in_o the_o least_o proclaim_v the_o hanckering_n of_o love_n but_o be_v it_o not_o more_o prudent_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n open_o and_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n be_v it_o not_o better_o to_o bill_n in_o open_a view_n and_o to_o toy_n it_o in_o public_a where_o there_o be_v witness_n of_o your_o frisking_n than_o to_o smack_v it_o in_o the_o dark_a and_o to_o be_v jumble_v in_o hugger-mugger_n behind_o the_o door_n for_o
