The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania | ||

Can pleasing sight misfortune euer bring?
Can firme desire a painefull torment trye?
Can winning eyes proue to the heart a sting?
Or can sweet lips in Treason hidden lye?
Can firme desire a painefull torment trye?
Can winning eyes proue to the heart a sting?
Or can sweet lips in Treason hidden lye?
The Sunne most pleasing, blindes the strongest eye,
If two much look'd on, breaking the sights string;
Desires still crost must vnto mischiefe hie,
And as Despaire, a lucklesse chance may fling.
If two much look'd on, breaking the sights string;
Desires still crost must vnto mischiefe hie,
And as Despaire, a lucklesse chance may fling.

Eyes hauing none, reiecting prooues a sting,
Killing the budd before the tree doth spring;
Sweet lipps, not louing, do as poyson proue:
Killing the budd before the tree doth spring;
Sweet lipps, not louing, do as poyson proue:
Desire, sight, eyes, lipps; seeke, see, proue, and finde,
You loue may winn, but curses, if vnkinde,
Then shew you harmes dislike, and ioy in loue.
You loue may winn, but curses, if vnkinde,
Then shew you harmes dislike, and ioy in loue.
