Though it in thee Cannot persever |
For I had rather Owner be |
Of thee one hower, then all else for euer.| |

Twice or thrice had I loved thee, |
Before I knew thy face or name, |
So in a voice, so in a shapeless flame |
Angells affect vs oft, and worshipd be, |

But since my soule whose Child loue is |
Takes lymmes of flesh, and else could nothing doe; |
More subtile, then the parent is, |
Loue must not be, but take a body tooe. |
And therefore what thou weart, And who |

That it assumes thy body, I allowe, |
And fixe it self in thy lipp, Eye, and browe.| |

Whiles thus to ballast love, I thought
