Time shall tell thee, how well I loue thee

Loves martyr | ||
161
Time shall tell thee, how well I loue thee
Time the true proportioner of things,Shall in the end shew my affection,
Tell thee from whence all these my passions spring,
Thee honoring that of loue haue made election:
How often I haue made my offerings,
Well knowne to Venus and her louely sonne,
I to the wide world shall my passions runne:
Loue is a Lord of hearts, a great Commander,
Thee chalenging to be my chiefe defender.
Loves martyr | ||
