So light is loue, in matchles beautie shining

So light is loue, in matchles beautie shining, So light is loue in matchles beautie shining, When she reuisits Cypris hallowed bowers, Two feeble doues harnest in silken twining, harnest in silken twining, can draw her Chariot midst the Paphian flowers, can draw her Chariot midst the Paphian flowers, Lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? Lightnesse to loue how ill it fitteth? lightnesse to loue, lightnesse to loue how ill it sitteth? so heauie on my hart she sitteth. Lightnes to loue how ill it fitteth? lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? lightnes to loue, how ill it fitteth? so heauy on my hart, (O) on my hart she sitteth.
