Love's Thoughtes
Love is the pretiest pleasinge thinge,
The sweetest thoughts doth bringe,
And makes me thinke my self so wise
All Else I do dispise
As fooles; how can I thinke them less,
Havinge other busnes?
For ther is nothinge Else, in fayth,
But what she doth or Sayth;
For all the rest are but meer toys
To love, her solid Joyes;
And wonder, by my troth, I doe,
How most doe live without it too,
And thinke they're well; alas, alas,
I pitty their poore case;
For all things in love's armes are hurl'd,
Then wee are all the world.
