[Shal I come, if I swim? wide are the waves, you see]
Shal I come, if I swim? wide are the waves, you see:
Shall I come, if I flie, my deere love, to thee?
Streames Venus will appease, Cupid gives me winges:
All the powers assist my desire
Save you alone, that set my wofull heart on fire.
Shall I come, if I flie, my deere love, to thee?
Streames Venus will appease, Cupid gives me winges:
All the powers assist my desire
Save you alone, that set my wofull heart on fire.
You are faire; so was Hero that in Sestos dwelt;
She a priest, yet the heate of love truly felt.
A greater streame then this did her love devide,
But she was his guide with a light:
So through the streames Leander did enjoy her sight.
She a priest, yet the heate of love truly felt.
A greater streame then this did her love devide,
But she was his guide with a light:
So through the streames Leander did enjoy her sight.
