1WHen my Loue sweares that she is made of truth,

¶I doe beleeue her (though I know she lies)

¶That she might thinke me some vntutor'd youth,

¶Vnskilfull in the worlds false forgeries.

5Thus vainly thinking that she thinkes me young,

¶Although I know my yeares be past the best:

¶I smiling, credite her false speaking toung,

¶Outfacing faults in Loue, with loues ill rest.

¶But wherefore sayes my Loue that she is young?

10And wherefore say not I, that I am old?

¶O, Loues best habite is a soothing toung,

¶And Age (in Loue) loues not to haue yeares told.

¶_Therfore Ile lye with Loue, and Loue with me,

¶_Since that our faults in Loue thus smother'd be.
