Dressing in them thy curling, shining hair;
This place wirh sweetest flowers still doth deck,
Whose colours show their pride, free from the check
Of famine's frown, so long as Spring doth last ;
But then , feel change, whereof all others taste.
As far one, who thus my habits change :
Once shepherdess, but now In woods must range
And after the chaste Goddess* hear her bow ;
Though service mngc to Venus I did owe,
Whose servant then I was and of her band .
But farewell folly, I with Dun stand
Against luveX eharising and blind foolery
To hold with happy and blessed chastity
For love is idle, happiness there's none
When freedom's lost and chastity is gone;
And where on earth most blessedness there is . So merciless, still killing with despair;
Love’s fond desires never fail to miss .
And tins, believe me, you wifi tnilly find ,
Let nor repentance therefore change your mind ;
Rut change before your glory will be most ,
When as the waggish hoy can least him boast.
For he doth -seek to kindle flames of fire
But never thinks to quench a chaste desire ;
. Lmim, Fie, my Philisses, will you ever fly
He calls his Foe, he hates none more than thwe
Who strive his law to shun , and this life chose.
All virtue hates his kingdom 's wan ton ness
His crow n, desires, has sceptre* idleness;
His wounds, hot fires are; his Help's like Frcral,
Glad to hurt but never heals; thinks time lust
If any gain their long-sought fay with bliss*
And this the government of folly is.
But here Philisses comes* poor shepherd lad
With love's hot fires, and his own , made mad .
. But self-deserts* lest trust might: be abused .
I must away, my vow allows no sight
.
Of men, yet must l pity him, poor v ight ,
.
Though he,, rejecting me, this change hath v taught *
I le shall be no less w orthy in my tben ht

Then were he happy, now feds misery.

False hope which feeds but to destroy and spill
What it lirst breeds; unnatural to the birth
Of thine own womb; conceiving hut to kill .,
And plenty gives to make the greater dearth .
So tyrants do who falsely ruling earth
Outwardly grace them , and with profit's fall
Advance those who appointed are to death
To make their grfilter fall to please their will .
Thus shadow they their wicked vile intent
Colouring evil with a show of good.
While in lair shows their malice so is spent;
Hope kills the heart and tyrants shed the blood .
For hope* deluding brings us to the pride
Of our desires* the farth er dow n to slide.
How like 3 lire doth love increase in me,
1 he longer that it lasts, the stronger still ,
Ihe greater, purer, brighter* and dorh hi!
No eye with wonder more, then hopes still be
Bred in my breast, when fires of love are free
To use that part to their best pleasing will,
And now impossible it is to kill.
The hear so great where Love ILLS strength doth see.
Mine eyes can scarce sustain the flames, my heart
Doth trust in them my passions to impart ,
And languishingly strive to show mv love;
My brea th not able is to breathe least part

Yet love 1 will ,* till 1 but ashes prove.*
