The Vow.
By my Life I vow,
That my Life, art Thou:
By my Heart, and by my Eyes:
But thy Faith denies
To my juster Oath t'encline,
For thou say'st I swear by thine.
That my Life, art Thou:
By my Heart, and by my Eyes:
But thy Faith denies
To my juster Oath t'encline,
For thou say'st I swear by thine.
53
By this Sigh I swear,
By this falling Tear,
By the undeserved Pains
My griev'd Soul sustains.
Now thou may'st beleeve my Moan,
These are too too much my own.
By this falling Tear,
