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.
