A Farewell to Conceipt.
Farewell Conceit: Cōceit no more wel fare:
Hope feeds the heart with humours, to no end:
Fortune is false, in dealing of her share:
Virtue in heauen must only seeke a friend.
Hope feeds the heart with humours, to no end:
Fortune is false, in dealing of her share:
Virtue in heauen must only seeke a friend.
Adieu, Desire. Desire, no more adieu,
Will hath no leasure to regard desart:
Love findes, too late, the prouerbe all too true,
That Beauties eyes stoode neuer in her heart.

Love findes, too late, the prouerbe all too true,
That Beauties eyes stoode neuer in her heart.
Away, poore Loue. Loue, seek no more a way
Vnto thy woe, where wishing is no wealth:
In nightes deepe darkenesse neuer looke for day,
Nor in hearts sicknesse euer seeke for health.
Vnto thy woe, where wishing is no wealth:
In nightes deepe darkenesse neuer looke for day,
Nor in hearts sicknesse euer seeke for health.
Desire, Conceipt, away, adieu, farewell:
Love is deceiu'd, that seeks for heauen in hell.
Love is deceiu'd, that seeks for heauen in hell.
