To a simple Coy Mistress.
What though I did swear your Eye
Had enough to take a Heart,
Yet from mine I will not part,
I have read Loves Sophistry:
For know, Proud, I ne'r was born
To endure your Sexes Scorn.
Had enough to take a Heart,
Yet from mine I will not part,
I have read Loves Sophistry:
For know, Proud, I ne'r was born
To endure your Sexes Scorn.
Though I you a Lilly swore,
Yet the Violets azur'd hue
Is for use more priz'd than you:
Nor will I those Lips adore,
Since the Cherries trees do bear
Are far sweeter than yours are.
Yet the Violets azur'd hue
Is for use more priz'd than you:
Nor will I those Lips adore,
Since the Cherries trees do bear
Are far sweeter than yours are.
Though I priz'd your swelling Brest,
Yet the Grape, or Goosberry
Yield a juice more Savory;
Nor will I again protest
To an out-side, till I know
'Tis for Taste as well as Show.
Yet the Grape, or Goosberry
Yield a juice more Savory;
Nor will I again protest
To an out-side, till I know
'Tis for Taste as well as Show.
