When euery one to pleasing pastime hies,
Some hunt, some hauke, some play while some delight
In sweet discourse, and musicke shewes ioyes might:
Yet I my thoughts doe farre aboue these prize.
Some hunt, some hauke, some play while some delight
In sweet discourse, and musicke shewes ioyes might:
Yet I my thoughts doe farre aboue these prize.
The ioy which I take is, that free from eyes
I sit and wonder at this day-like night,
So to dispose themselues as void of right,
And leaue true pleasure for poore vanities.
I sit and wonder at this day-like night,
So to dispose themselues as void of right,
And leaue true pleasure for poore vanities.
When others hunt, my thoughts I haue in chase;
If hauke, my minde at wished end doth flye:
Discourse, I with my spirit talke and cry;
While others musicke choose as greatest grace.
If hauke, my minde at wished end doth flye:
Discourse, I with my spirit talke and cry;
While others musicke choose as greatest grace.
O God say I, can these fond pleasures moue,
Or musicke bee but in sweet thoughts of Loue?
Or musicke bee but in sweet thoughts of Loue?
