And more then I can Tell,

So lovely and so fayreOre shaddow'd with thy hayre,
So nimble just like haire,
All these set mee on loves rack,
For thy sweeter Black black black.

No goddesse 'mongst them all,So slender and so tall,
And gracefull too withall,
Which makes my sinews to Crack,
For thy dainty Black black black.

Thy kinde and loving Eye,When first I did Espye,
Our loves it did descrye,
Dumb speaking what d'yee lack,
Mine answered thy Black black black.
