Another of the Same.
Say that I should say, I loue ye?
would you say, tis but a saying?
But if Loue in prayers mooue ye?
will you not be moou'd with praying?
would you say, tis but a saying?
But if Loue in prayers mooue ye?
will you not be moou'd with praying?
Think I think that Loue should know ye?
will you thinke, tis but a thinking?
But if Loue the thought doo show ye,
will ye loose your eyes with winking?
will you thinke, tis but a thinking?
But if Loue the thought doo show ye,
will ye loose your eyes with winking?
Write that I doo write you blessèd,
will you write, tis but a writing?
But if truth and Loue confesse it:
will ye doubt the true enditing?
will you write, tis but a writing?
But if truth and Loue confesse it:
will ye doubt the true enditing?
No, I say, and thinke, and write it,
write, and thinke, and say your pleasure:
Loue, and truth, and I endite it,
you are blessèd out of measure.
write, and thinke, and say your pleasure:
Loue, and truth, and I endite it,
you are blessèd out of measure.
