| 37. Song |
| |
| OUT upon it, I have lov'd | |
| Three whole days together; | |
| And am like to love three more, | |
| If it prove fair weather. | |
| |
| Time shall moult away his wings | 5 |
| Ere he shall discover | |
| In the whole wide world agen | |
| Such a constant Lover. | |
| |
| But the spite on't is, no praise | |
| Is due at all to me: | 10 |
| Love with me had made no staies | |
| Had it any been but she. | |
| |
| Had it any been but she | |
| And that very Face, | |
| There had been at least ere this | 15 |
| A dozen dozen in her place. | |
