32. [On Devotion]
My fairs vnkinde, and I have spent my painesAnd purchast nothing but vndew disdaines.
O had she bin as kinde as I was true,
What praise to her, Ioyes had to mee been due?
But to my griefe and her disgrace I finde
That faire ones too much lov'd prove seldom kinde.
What then, shall loveing less be my revenge?
O Noe, I wrong my Iudgement if I change.
The dice are cast and lett her loath or love
I may vnhappy, not Inconstant prove,
For it is as impossible to mee
To love her less, as more in love to bee.
