[xliii] Lillas Prayer.
Loue, if thou wilt once moreThat I to thee returne,
(Sweete God) make me not burne
For quiuering Age, that doth spent Dayes deplore:
Nor doe not wound my Hart
For some vnconstant Boy,
Who ioyes to loue, yet makes of Loue a Toy:
But (ah) if I must prooue thy golden Dart?
Of grace O let mee finde
A sweet young Louer with an aged Mind.
Thus Lilla pray'd, and Idas did replie
(Who heard) Deare haue thy wish, for such am I.
