Sweet, exclude mee not, nor be divided

T. Campion

Sweet, exclude mee not, nor be divided

From him that ere long must bed thee:

All thy maiden doubts Law hath decided;

Sure wee are, and I must wed thee.

Presume then yet a little more:

Here's the way, barre not the dore.

Tenants, to fulfill their Land-lords pleasure,

Pay their rent before the quarter:

'Tis my case, if you it rightly measure;

Put mee not then off with laughter.

Consider then a little more:

Here's the way to all my store.

Why were dores in loues despight deuised?

Are not Lawes enough restrayning?

Women are most apt to be surprised

Sleeping, or sleepe wisely fayning.

Then grace me yet a little more:

Here's the way, barre not the dore.
