Lyrics:
Since first I saw your face I resolv'd
To honour and renown ye.
If now I be disdained I wish
My heart had never known ye.
What, I that lov'd and you that lik'd,
Shall we begin to wrangle?
No, no, no, my heart is fast,
And cannot disentangle.
If I admire or praise you too much,
That fault may you forgive me.
Or if my hands had strayed but a touch,
Then justly you might leave me.
I asked you leave, you bade me love,
Is't now a time to chide me?
No, no, no, I'll love you still,
What fortune e'er betide me.
The sun whose beams more glorious are
Rejecteth no beholder,
And your sweet beauty past compare
Made my poor eyes the bolder.
Where Beauty moves and Wit delights
And signs of kindness bind me,
There, O there, where'er I go,
I leave my heart behind me.
