37. Song |
|
OUT upon it, I have lov'd | |
Three whole days together; | |
And am like to love three more, | |
If it prove fair weather. | |
|
Time shall moult away his wings | 5 |
Ere he shall discover | |
In the whole wide world agen | |
Such a constant Lover. | |
|
But the spite on't is, no praise | |
Is due at all to me: | 10 |
Love with me had made no staies | |
Had it any been but she. | |
|
Had it any been but she | |
And that very Face, | |
There had been at least ere this | 15 |
A dozen dozen in her place. | |
