To Amorea on his going to Travell.

1

If that my Travell were to be so far,
(My only starre)
To come again no more,
Then well I might implore,
Pardon from Cupid, and loves deitie,
For the offence I've done to Love, and thee.

2

Yet Amorea be but pleased now
To take this vow,
If Fortune be my friend,
To grant a happy end
Unto my journey; offer up I shall,
To thy blest shrine, my vows, my self, and all.

But if I never do return,
Alas I mourn,
For her I left behind,
Yet dearest be so kind,
Only to think, I only for your sake,
This journey with my death did undertake.
