XXXIII.

[O deere life when may it be]

O deere life when may it be,
That mine eyes thine eyes may see,
And in them my minde discouer,
Whether absence hath had force,
Thy remembrance to deforce,
From the Image of thy louer.
O, if I my selfe finde not,
though my parting ought forgot
Nor debard from beauties treasure
Let no tongue aspier to tell
In what hie Ioyes I shall dwell,
Onely thought aymes at the pleasure.
Thought therefore I will send thee
To take vp the place for me,
Long I will not after tary,
There vnseene thou maist be bold
These faire wonders to behold,
Which in them my hopes do cary.
Finis.
