Speculum Amantis Love Poems, from Rare Songbooks and Miscellanies of the Seventeenth Century
الصفحة رقم: 6
class="i6">None hath that power
But only you.
Fair wonder, to those charming eyes
A heart I fain would sacrifice,
Had I but e'er a one in store;
But having lost mine long before,
Well may I sigh, wish, and adore,
But for my life
Can die no more.
A heart I fain would sacrifice,
Had I but e'er a one in store;
But having lost mine long before,
Well may I sigh, wish, and adore,
But for my life
Can die no more.
From Harl. MS. 6917.
A Motion to Pleasure.
STILL to affect, still to admire,
Yet never satisfy desire
With touch of hand, or lip, or that
Which pleaseth best (I name not what),—
Like Tantalus I pining die,
Taking Love's dainties at the eye.

Nature made nothing but for use,
And, fairest, 'twere a gross abuse
To her best work if you it hold
Unused, like misers' ill-got gold,
Or keep it in a virgin scorn,
Like rich robes that are seldom worn.
And, fairest, 'twere a gross abuse
