Loue me or not, loue her I must or dye
T. Campion
Loue me or not, loue her I must or dye;
Leaue me or not, follow her needs must I.
O that her grace would my wisht comforts giue.
How rich in her, how happy should I liue!
All my desire, all my delight should be
Her to enioy, her to vnite to mee:
Enuy should cease, her would I loue alone:
Who loues by lookes, is seldome true to one.
Could I enchant, and that it lawfull were,
Her would I charme softly that none should heare.
But loue enforc'd rarely yeelds firme content;
So would I loue that neyther should repent.
