Fairest, if it be your pleasure
C. Salzedo
Fairest if it be your pleasure
To enrich me by your treasure
Of sweet comfort and deliciousness
I will serve thee as my mistress
Let me not die, nor from thee sever;
For no desire have I but fully
Thee to serve most loyally
Myself to spare no pain or sadness
Fairest if it be your pleasure
To enrich me by your treasure
Of sweet comfort and deliciousness
If it should please thee to accomplish
And for me alone to banish
With your most sweet and gentle youth
This denial which wounds in truth
Thou can'st heal me by your treasure
Fairest if it be your pleasure.
