1 Loue me or not, loue her I must or dye.
Leaue me or not, follow her needs must I.
O that her grace would my wisht comforts giue.
How rich in her, how happy should I liue ?
2 All my desire, all my delight should be
Her to enioy, her to vnite to mee :
Enuy should cease, her would I loue alone,
Who loues by lookes, is seldome true to one.
3 Could I enchant, and that it lawfull were,
Her would I charme softly that none should heare :
But loue enforc'd rarely yeelds firme content,
So would I loue that neyther should repent.
