21
Commanded to conceal his Love.
1
Love me, but how, not that it may be known,Love me, and yet take care no love be shown:
Love me, but that you love me, still disown.
2
Look not with eyes, that may suspition give,Live still in hope, yet alwaies hope to live,
Grieve not at, all but ever seem to grieve.
3
Think not a thought of Love, but yet retainMe in your mind, remember, but refrain,
Blot out affection, yet let love remain.
4
Seem still to change, but changes disapprove.Remove your passion, yet in passion move,
Doe not as much as whisper out your love.
5
Let fall no word, no thought, no sigh, no tear,Be joyfull, but let joy be mixt with fear,
Deny to tell a secret to your ear.
6
For know in love, ther is a such an Art,He loseth all, a councell will impart,
Let me be only lodged in thy heart.
