If th' amorous Thought of mine that vexeth mee.
As it is fierce, had colour like the same,
Perhaps my Body then should heated be,
And I should Partner be, in that Loues Flame,
That Flame of Loue which now doth sleepe in her
(May chance) would then beginne in me to stirre.

And I should Partner be, in that Loues Flame,
That Flame of Loue which now doth sleepe in her
(May chance) would then beginne in me to stirre.
If so, I then should not so idly liue,
I then (abroad) should waite and on her tend;
Nor I so much with weeping (then) should grieue,
And Heate, not Colde, from me should still ascend:
I should be turned into nought but Fire,
The Brand of Loue, the Torch of hot Desire.
