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 retain
Me 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.
