A Farewell to Loue.
Farewell Loue, and louing folly,
All thy thoughts are too vnholly:
Beauty strikes thee full of blindenesse,
And then kils thee with vnkindnesse.
All thy thoughts are too vnholly:
Beauty strikes thee full of blindenesse,
And then kils thee with vnkindnesse.
Farewell wit, and witty reason,
All betrai'd by Fancies treason:
Loue hath of all joy bereft thee.
And to Sorrow only left thee.
All betrai'd by Fancies treason:
Loue hath of all joy bereft thee.
And to Sorrow only left thee.
Farewell will, and wilfull fancy,
All in daunger of a frenzy,
Love to Beauties bowe hath wonne thee,
And togither all vndone thee.
All in daunger of a frenzy,
Love to Beauties bowe hath wonne thee,
And togither all vndone thee.
Farewell Beauty, Sorrowes agent;
Farewell Sorrow, Patience pagent;
Farewell Patience, Passions stayer;
Farewell Passion, Loues betrayer.
Farewell Sorrow, Patience pagent;
Farewell Patience, Passions stayer;
Farewell Passion, Loues betrayer.
Sorrows agent, Patience pagent,
Passions stayer, Loues betrayer,
Beauty, Sorrow, Patience, Passion;
Farewell life, of such a fashion.
Passions stayer, Loues betrayer,
Beauty, Sorrow, Patience, Passion;
Farewell life, of such a fashion.
Fashion, so good fashions spilling;
Passion, so with passions killing:
Patience, so with sorrow wounding;
Farewell Beauty, Loues confounding.
Passion, so with passions killing:
Patience, so with sorrow wounding;
Farewell Beauty, Loues confounding.
