The poetical works of William Strode | ||
A NECKLACE
These veines are nature's nett,
These cords by art are sett.
These cords by art are sett.
If love himselfe flye here,
Love is intangled here.
Love is intangled here.
Loe! on my neck this twist I bind,
For to hang him that steales my mynde:
Unless hee hang alive in chaynes
I hang and dye in lingring paynes.
For to hang him that steales my mynde:
Unless hee hang alive in chaynes
I hang and dye in lingring paynes.
Theis threads enjoy a double grace,
Both by the gemme and by the place.
Both by the gemme and by the place.
