sir robert ayton - to his forsaken mistress - richard mitchley lyrics

Loading...

i do confess thou’rt smooth and fair
and i might have gone near to love thee
had i not found the slightest prayer
that lips could move, had power to move thee;
but i can let thee now alone
as worthy to be loved by none

i do confess thou’rt sweet; yet find
thee such an unthrift of thy sweets
thy favours are but like the wind
that kisseth everything it meets:
and since thou canst with more than one
thou’rt worthy to be kiss’d by none

the morning rose that untouch’d stands
arm’d with her briers, how sweet she smells!
but pluck’d and strain’d through ruder hands
her sweets no longer with her dwells:
but scent and beauty both are gone
and leaves fall from her, one by one

such fate ere long will thee betide
when thou hast handled been awhile
with sere flowers to be thrown aside;
and i shall sigh, while some will smile
to see thy love to every one
hath brought thee to be loved by none
