MISTRESS JANE
Hard words, Mistress Jane!
For a lover, “despise and disdain.”
But there's that in your eyes
Bids me ask you again,
Mistress Jane!
For a lover, “despise and disdain.”
But there's that in your eyes
Bids me ask you again,
Mistress Jane!
I shall ask you “in vain”;
And may “leave” you. I wiser remain,
For that look in your eyes
Bids me stay, and so gain
My own Jane.
And may “leave” you. I wiser remain,
For that look in your eyes
Bids me stay, and so gain
My own Jane.
