XII. OF THE SAME WELL.
To the, O Cupid! king of love,
We pray, whair thou does duell,
That, but respect, thou wold remove
All rebells from thy well:
And if to drink they haif desyre
This water; then, thou turne
Into the element of fyre,
With baill thair breist to burne.
We pray, whair thou does duell,
That, but respect, thou wold remove
All rebells from thy well:
And if to drink they haif desyre
This water; then, thou turne
Into the element of fyre,
With baill thair breist to burne.
And let thame, with Apollo, prove
The fury of thy fyre;
And let them haif no luk in love,
Bot droun thame with desyre.
Bot vnto vs that subjects ar
To Love, and to his lauis,
Mair mercifull I wald thou war,
Nor ȝit thy self thou shauis.
The fury of thy fyre;
And let them haif no luk in love,
Bot droun thame with desyre.
145
To Love, and to his lauis,
Mair mercifull I wald thou war,
Nor ȝit thy self thou shauis.
As we do serve thy Celsitude,
In hope to haif reuaird;
Let thame, vhom we haif so long lude,
Our service once regaird.
In hope to haif reuaird;
Let thame, vhom we haif so long lude,
Our service once regaird.
