[I. Love is the fire that burnes me]

Loue is the fire that burnes me

Loue is the fire that burnes me, The smokes are thoughts confused, Which dimmes my soule, my soule, And hath my sence abused, Though fire to ashes turne me, Yet doth the smoke more grieue mee, That dimmes my minde, Whose light should still relieue me. Though fire to ashes turne me, Yet doth the smoke more grieue me, That dims my minde, whose light should still relieue me.
