Wit's Pilgrimage - Part 23
Stir'st thou me vp to loue? yet me restrain'st
From that thy stronge perfections stirr me to?
Frown'st thou in ernest? or els frowning fain'st,
Sith thee, in ernest, ernestly I woo
If thou canst be thine owne true Antitype
(That's most deform'd, sith most well form'd Thou art!)
If thou can'st rotten be, now, thou art ripe,
Then, can I ceasse to sue, but not to smart:
For, smart I should no lesse for thy disgrace
Then I do smart for loue of (gracefull) Thee
Then, let me loue thee, in thy better case,
That in thy worst, so much should greeued be:
But, if thou wilt not haue me woo, nor loue,
Then, either cease to Bee , or cease to moue.
