Another to his Cinthia.

These three duties were taken out of Maister Iohn Dowlands [illeg.] the An[illeg.], there set downe, & therefore le[illeg.]t to the [illeg.].
My thoughts are wingde with hopes, my hopes with loue,
Mount loue vnto the Moone in deerest night:
And say as shee doth in the heauens moue,
On earth so wanes and wexeth my delight.
And whisper this but softly in her eares:
Hope oft doth hang the head, and dust shed teares.

And whisper this but softly in her eares:
Hope oft doth hang the head, and dust shed teares.
And you my thoughts that some mistrust doe carry,
If for mistrust my Mistrisse doe you blame:
Say, though you alter, yet you doe not varie,
As shee doth change, and yet remaine the same.
Distrust doth enter harts, but not infect,
And loue is sweetest, seasoned with suspect.

If shee for this, with clowdes doe maske her eyes,
And make the heauens darke with her disdaine:
With windie sighes disperse them in the skyes,
Or with thy teares dissolue them into rayne.
Thoughts, hopes, and loue, returne to me no more,
Till Cinthia shine, as shee hath done before.
