Francis T. Palgrave, ed. (18241897). The Golden Treasury. 1875. | | Sir C. Sedley | | XCVIII. "Not, Celia, that I juster am" | | NOT, Celia, that I juster am | | Or better than the rest; | | For I would change each hour, like them, | | Were not my heart at rest. | | | But I am tied to very thee | 5 | By every thought I have: | | Thy face I only care to see. | | Thy heart I only crave. | | | All that in woman is adored | | In thy dear self I find; | 10 | For the whole sex can but afford | | The handsome and the kind. | | | Why then should I seek further store, | | And still make love anew? | | When change itself can give no more, | 15 | 'Tis easy to be true. | | |
