SONG. VII.
I
Why dost thou say I am forsworne,'Cause thine I vow'd to be?
Thou se'st it is already morn,
And 'twas last night I promis'd thee,
That fond Impossibility.
II
And I have lov'd thee much and long,A tedious twelve houres space,
I should do other Beauties wrong,
And rob thee of a fresh imbrace,
Should I still dote upon thy Face.
III
Not but all Joyes in thy brown hair,By others may be found:
But I must have the black and Faire,
So for treasures some do sound,
In altogether unknown Ground.
IV
But if, when I have rang'd my Round,Thou prov'st the pleasant'st she,
With spoyles of other beauties Crown'd,
I laden will return to thee,
Even sated with variety.
