Sir J. S.

1

Out upon it, I have lov'd
Three whole days together;
And am like to love three more,
If it prove fair weather.

2

Time shall moult away his wings
Ere he shall discover
In the whole wide world agen
Such a constant Lover.

3

But the spite on't is, no praise
Is due at all to me:
Love with me had made no staies,
Had it any been but she.

4

Had it any been but she
And that very Face,
There had been at least ere this
A dozen dozen in her place.
