[Beuty hathe force to catche the Humane sighte]
Beuty hathe force to catche the Humane sighte,
Sight dothe bewitch the Fancy evell awaked,
Fancy (wee feele) eludes all passyons mighte,
Passyon Rebeld, often Reasons strength hathe shaked,
Sight dothe bewitch the Fancy evell awaked,
Fancy (wee feele) eludes all passyons mighte,
Passyon Rebeld, often Reasons strength hathe shaked,
No wonder then, thoughe Sighte, my Sighte did taynte,
And thoughe thereby my Fancy was infected,
Thoughe (yoked so) my mynde with sicknes faynte,
Had Reasons weyght for passyons ease rejected,
And thoughe thereby my Fancy was infected,
Thoughe (yoked so) my mynde with sicknes faynte,
Had Reasons weyght for passyons ease rejected,
But nowe the Fitt ys past, and Tyme hathe given,
Leysure to weyghe what due Desert requyreth,
All Thoughtes so sprunge are from theyre dwelling driven,
And wysdome to his wonted seate aspyreth.
Crying in mee, I hopes deceyptfull proove,
Thinges rightly prysde Love ys the bande of Love.
Leysure to weyghe what due Desert requyreth,
All Thoughtes so sprunge are from theyre dwelling driven,
And wysdome to his wonted seate aspyreth.
Crying in mee, I hopes deceyptfull proove,
Thinges rightly prysde Love ys the bande of Love.
