[XI. The curtaine drawne I saw my loue]

The curtaine drawn I saw my loue, I saw my loue lie sleeping

The curtaine drawn I saw my loue, I saw my loue lie sleeping, thrice happy was that peeping, thrice happy was that peeping, for vewing her sweet lying her sweet, her sweet lying, preserues my life and keeps my soule from dying, and keeps my soule from dying, of thousand ioyes missing her I had mist all, whose sight reuiues me more, reuiues me more, whose whose sight reuiues me more, reuiues me more then ruby, pearle, then ruby, pearle, or cristall.
