love's sweet repose - henry lawes lyrics

amidst the myrtles as i walk’d
love and my sighs thus intertalk’d:
tell me, said i, in deep distress
where i may find my shepherdess?
**thou fool, said love, know’st thou not this?
in every thing that’s sweet she is
in yond’ carnation go and seek
there thou shalt find her lip and cheek;
in that enamell’d pansy by
there thou shalt have her curious eye;
in bloom of peach and rose’s bud
there waves the streamer of her blood
**’tis true, said i; and thereupon
i went to pluck them one by onе
to make of parts an union;
but on a sudden all werе gone
at which i stopp’d; said love, these be
the true resemblances of thee;
for as these flowers, thy joys must die;
and in the turning of an eye;
and all thy hopes of her must wither
like those short sweets here knit together
