[Night, steale not on too fast: wee haue not yet]

Night, steale not on too fast: wee haue not yet
Shed all our parting teares, nor paid the kisses,
Which foure dayes absence made vs run in debt,
(O, who would absent be where growe such blisses?)
The Rose, which but this morning spred her leaues,
Kist not her neighbour flower more chast then wee:
Nor are the timelye Eares bound vp in sheaues
More strict then in our Armes we twisted be;
290

O who would part vs then, and disvnite
Twoo harmeles soules, so innocent and true,
That were all honest Love forgotten quite,
By our Example men might Learne Anew.
Night seuers vs, but pardon her she maye,
And will once make us happyer then the daye.
