Love’s Constancy (No more shall meads) |
| No more shall meads be deck’d with flow’rs, |
| Nor sweetness dwell in rosy bow’rs, |
| Nor greenest buds on branches spring, |
| Nor warbling birds delight to sing, |
| Nor April violets paint the grove, |
| When once I leave my Celia’s love. |
| The fish shall in the ocean burn, |
| And fountains sweet shall bitter turn; |
| The humble vale no floods shall know, |
| When floods shall highest hills o’erflow; |
| Black Lethe shall oblivion leave, |
| Before my Celia I deceive. |
| Love shall his bow and shaft lay by, |
| And Venus’ doves want wings to fly; |
| The sun refuse to show his light, |
| And day shall then be turn’d to night; |
| And in that night no star appear, |
| Whene’er I leave my Celia dear. |
| Love shall no more inhabit earth, |
| Nor lovers more shall love for worth, |
| Nor joy above in heaven dwell, |
| Nor pain torment poor souls in hell; |
| Grim death no more shall horrid prove, |
| Whene’er I leave bright Celia’s love. |
