[Say loue if euer thou didst find]
Say loue if euer thou didst find,
A woman with a constant mind,
None but one,
And what should that rare mirror be,
Some Goddesse or some Queen is she
Shee shee shee shee and onelie she she
Onely Queene of loue and beautie.
A woman with a constant mind,
None but one,
And what should that rare mirror be,
Some Goddesse or some Queen is she
Shee shee shee shee and onelie she she
Onely Queene of loue and beautie.
But could thy firy poysned dart
At no time touch her spotlesse hart,
Nor come neare,
She is not subiect to Loues bow,
Her eye commaunds, her heart saith no,
No, no, no, and only no,
One no another still doth follow.
At no time touch her spotlesse hart,
Nor come neare,
She is not subiect to Loues bow,
Her eye commaunds, her heart saith no,
No, no, no, and only no,
One no another still doth follow.
How might I that faire wonder know,
That mockes desire with endlesse no
See the Moone
That euer in one change doth grow,
Yet still the same, and she is so;
So, so, so, and onely so,
From heauen her vertues she doth borrow.
That mockes desire with endlesse no
See the Moone
That euer in one change doth grow,
Yet still the same, and she is so;
So, so, so, and onely so,
From heauen her vertues she doth borrow.
To her then yeeld thy shafts and bowe,
That can command affections so:
Loue is free,
So are her thoughts that vanquish thee,
There is no queene of loue but she,
She, she, she, and only she,
She onely queene of loue and beautie.
