[Never perswade me to't]
Never perswade me to't,
I vow I live not,
How canst thou expect a life in me,
Since my soule is fled to thee.
I vow I live not,
How canst thou expect a life in me,
Since my soule is fled to thee.
You suppose because I walk,
& you think talk,
I therfore breath, alas you know
Shades as well as men do so.
& you think talk,
I therfore breath, alas you know
Shades as well as men do so.
You may argue I have heat,
My pulses beat,
My sighs have in them living fire,
And my eyes sparke with desire.
My pulses beat,
My sighs have in them living fire,
And my eyes sparke with desire.
Grant your argument be truth,
Such heats my youth
Enflame, as poyson do only prepare
To make death their follower.
Such heats my youth
Enflame, as poyson do only prepare
To make death their follower.
