Love's Creatore
You Angell-like, for Bewty and for feature,
You my Creator, then I am your Creature.
Why, pray you then, why not dispose of mee,
Since all my beeing onely is from thee?
Body and Soule, and all my all, yours still;
Am not, nor have, without you, any will.
Nothing doth move it selfe, but by another,
This Mov'd by that, and that mov'd by the t'other;
So I am mov'd by you, you to obay;
If I want that, fall to my first bakt Claye.
You first breath'd life in mee; itt was your Spiritt,
For without that, I nothing could inherritt;
And as of nothinge you did make mee, then
Without you, faule to Nothing back againe.
I begg it not for mee a preservation
But for your honor, since I your Creation.
Maintaine mee now your worke, lett it not fade;
Shew power to preserve what you have made;
Else who will thinke you a Goddesse, all-seeinge?
Doe but Command, and that Comands my beinge.
