[For a fauour of such woorth]
For
a fauour of such woorth
In no debt I doe remaine,
Since with selfe same coyne againe
(Mistresse) thou art paide right foorth.
For if I enioy with free
Pleasure, seeing before me
Face and eies, where Cupid stands:
So thou seeing in my hands,
That which in thine eies I see.
In no debt I doe remaine,
Since with selfe same coyne againe
(Mistresse) thou art paide right foorth.
For if I enioy with free
Pleasure, seeing before me
Face and eies, where Cupid stands:
So thou seeing in my hands,
That which in thine eies I see.
Let not this to thee seeme ill,
That of thy beautie diuine
Thou see'st but the figure shine,
And I natures perfect skill:
Yet a thought, that's free and set
Neuer yet in Cupids net,
Better then the bond beholdes,
Though the one the liuely mouldes,
Th' other but the counterfet.
That of thy beautie diuine
Thou see'st but the figure shine,
And I natures perfect skill:
