Admitt, but not the buisied man. [f. 88v] |
He wch hath busines, and makes loue, doth doe |
Such wrong, as when a married man doth woo.| |
|
* |
Take heed of loving me |
At least remember I forbad it thee, |
Not that I shall repaire my vnthrifty wast |
Of breath and blood, vpon thy sighes and teares, |
*But so great ioy our life at once owtweares, |
Then least thy love by my death frustrate be |
If thou love me, take heed of loving me.| |
|
Take heed of hating me |
Or too much tryumph in the victory, |
Not that I shalbe myne owne officer, |
And hate with hate, againe retallyate, |
But thou wilt loose the stile of Conquerer, |
If I thy conquest, perish by thy hate. |
Then least my being nothing lessen thee |
If thou hate me, take heed of hating me.| |
|
Yett loue, and hate me too, |
So theis extreames shall neithers office doe, |
Love me that I may die the gentler way, |
Hate me because thy loves too great for me,
|
