Yett twas of my minde seising thee, [f. 87v]
Though it in thee Cannot persever
For I had rather Owner be
Of thee one hower, then all else for euer.|
Aire & Angells
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,
Still when to where thou wert I came,
Some louely glorious nothing I did see
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
I bid loue aske, and now
That it assumes thy body, I allowe,
And fixe it self in thy lipp, Eye, and browe.|
Whiles thus to ballast love, I thought
