Astrophel and Stella
What if we new beauties see
Will they not stir new affection?
I will thinke they pictures be
(Image-like, of saints perfection)
Poorely counterfeting thee
But your reasons purest light
Bids you leaue such minds to be
Who is it that this darke night
Well, in absence this will dy;
Leaue to see, and leaue to wonder
Absence sure will helpe, if I
Can learne how my selfe to sunder
But time will these thoughts remoue;
Time doth work what no man know
Time doth as the subiect proue;
With time still the affection groweth
In the faithful turtle-doue
Why, alas, and are you he?
Be not yet those fancies changed?
Deare, when you find change in me
Well, in absence this will dy;
Leaue to see, and leaue to wonder
Absence sure will helpe, if I
Can learne how my selfe to sunder
Well, in absence this will dy;
Leaue to see, and leaue to wonder
Absence sure will helpe, if I
Can learne how my selfe to sunder
Well, in absence this will dy;
Leaue to see, and leaue to wonder
Absence sure will helpe, if I
Can learne how my selfe to sunder
Well, in absence this will dy;
Leaue to see, and leaue to wonder
Absence sure will helpe, if I
Can learne how my selfe to sunder
