1900Therefore my Mistersse eyes are Rauen blacke,

1901Her eyes so suted, and they mourners seeme,

1902At such who not borne faire no beauty lack,

1903Slandring Creation with a false esteeme,

1904 Yet so they mourne becomming of their woe,

1905That euery toung saies beauty should looke so.

1907HOw oft when thou my musike musike playst,

1908Vpon that blessed wood whose motion sounds

1909With thy sweet fingers when thou gently swayst,

1910The wiry concord that mine eare confounds,

1911Do I enuie those Iackes that nimble leape,

1912To kisse the tender inward of thy hand,

1913Whilst my poore lips which should that haruest reape,

1914At the woods bouldnes by thee blushing stand.

1915To be so tikled they would change their state,

1916And situation with those dancing chips,

1917Ore whome their fingers walke with gentle gate,

1918Making dead wood more blest then liuing lips,

1919 Since sausie Iackes so happy are in this,

1920Giue them their fingers, me thy lips to kisse.

1922TH'expence of Spirit in a waste of shame

1923Is lust in action, and till action , lust

1924Is periurd, murdrous, blouddy full of blame,

1925Sauage, extreame, rude, cruell, not to trust,

1926Inioyd no sooner but dispised straight,

1927Past reason hunted, and no sooner had

1928Past reason hated as a swollowed bayt,

1929On purpose layd to make the taker mad.

1930Made In pursut and in possession so,

1931Had, hauing, and in quest, to haue extreame,

1932A blisse in proofe and proud and very wo,

1933Before a ioy proposd behind a dreame,

1934 All this the world well knowes yet none knowes well,

1935 To shun the heauen that leads men to this hell.
