16461621Towards Phoebus lodging, such a wagoner

16471622As Phaetan would whip you to the west,

16481623And bring in clowdie night immediately.

16491624Spread thy close curtaine loue-performing night,

16501625That runnawayes eyes may wincke, and Romeo

16511626Leape to these armes, vntalkt of and vnseene,

16521627Louers can see to do their amorous rights,

16531628And by their owne bewties, or if loue be blind,

16541629It best agrees with night, come ciuill night,

16551630Thou sober suted matron all in blacke,

16561631And learne me how to loose a winning match,

16571632Plaide for a paire of stainlesse maydenhoods.

16581633Hood my vnmand bloud bayting in my cheekes,

16591634With thy blacke mantle, till strange loue grow bold,

16601635Thinke true loue acted simple modestie:

16611636Come night, come Romeo, come thou day in night,

16621637For thou wilt lie vpon the winges of night,

16631638Whiter then new snow vpon a Rauens backe:

16641639Come gentle night, come louing black browd night,

16651640Giue me my Romeo, and when I shall die,

16661641Take him and cut him out in little starres,

16671642And he will make the face of heauen so fine,

16681643That all the world will be in loue with night,

16691644And pay no worship to the garish Sun.

16701645O I haue bought the mansion of a loue,

16711646But not possest it, and though I am sold,

16721647Not yet enioyd, so tedious is this day,

16731648As is the night before some festiuall,

16741649To an impatient child that hath new robes

16751650And may not weare them. O here comes my Nurse:

16771652And she brings newes, and euery tongue that speaks

16781653But Romeos name, speakes heauenly eloquence:

16791654Now Nurse, what newes? what hast thou there,

16801655The cords that Romeo bid thee fetch?
