I.
When I by thy faire shape did sweare, And mingled
with each vowe a teare, I lov'd, I lov'd thee best,
I swore as I profest. For all the while you
lasted warme and pure, My oathes too did endure.
But once turn'd faithlesse to thy selfe and old,
They then with thee incessantly grew cold.
II.
I swore my selfe thy sacrifice By th' ebon bowes
that guard thine eyes, Which now are alter'd white,
And by the glorious light Of both those stars,
which of their spheres bereft, Only the gellie's
left. Then changed thus, no more I'm bound to you,
Then swearing to a saint that proves untrue.
