<L>The Cow&s;lip of <HI>Ieru&s;alem,</HI></L>
<L>The Crowfoot and Sea-flower,</L>
<L>The Start-vp and ki&s;&s;e me,</L>
<L>A flower that &s;hall not mi&s;&s;e me,</L>
<L>In my true Louers bower.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The Lady of E&s;&s;ex faire,</L>
<L>A flower pa&s;&s;ing &s;w&eacute;et and rare,</L>
<L>I in the midde&s;t did place.</L>
<L>Becau&s;e my Loue is faire&s;t,</L>
<L>And of all maids the rare&s;t,</L>
<L>In body, and in face.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The&s;e flowers being culled,</L>
<L>And their branches pulled,</L>
<L>Did y&eacute;eld a fragrant &s;ent:</L>
<L>Ob&s;eruing their fit places,</L>
<L>I bound them in bridelaces,</L>
<L>And to my Loue I went.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>In hope &s;he would receiue them,</L>
<L>To th'end that I might giue them,</L>
<L>As pledges of my loue,</L>
<L>To her who&s;e radiant beauty</L>
<L>Did binde me to this duty,</L>
<L>Hoping &s;hee'l ne'r remoue.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Her permanent affection</L>
<L>To me, who by election</L>
<L>Am hers while life doth la&s;t:</L>
<L>The&s;e flowers did re&s;emble</L>
<L>My thoughts which ne'r di&s;&s;emble.</L>
<L>But hold both &s;mell and ta&s;te.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When I had made this No&s;e-gay,</L>
<L>With ioyfull heart I tooke my way,</L>
<L>To finde out my true Loue:</L>
<L>Who for my ab&s;ence mourned,</L>
<L>Vntill that I returned,</L>
<L>As doth the Turtle Doue.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>At la&s;t I found her &s;porting.</L>
<L>With other Maids con&s;orting,</L>
<L>Clo&s;e by a Riuer &s;ide:</L>
<L>My po&s;ie not refu&s;ed,</L>
<L>When &s;he the &s;ame peru&s;ed,</L>
<L>Vpon her arme &s;he tide.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>(Quoth &s;he) although the&s;e flowers</L>
<L>Will wither in few houres,</L>
<L>Yet take my word, Sw&eacute;et-heart.</L>
<L>My loue to th&eacute;e &s;hall ne'r decay,</L>
<L>Till death doth my life away,</L>
<L>From thee Ile ne'r depart.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>The like to her I vowed,</L>
<L>And whil&s;t the time allowed,</L>
<L>About &s;uch things we talked:</L>
<L>At length becau&s;e it waxed late,</L>
<L>We for that time did leaue our prate,</L>
<L>And from each other walked.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>When with a mild behauiour</L>
<L>She thankes me for my fauour,</L>
<L>And wore it for my &s;ake:</L>
<L>With enterchanging ki&s;&s;es,</L>
<L>The re&s;t remaines in wi&s;hes</L>
<L>Vnwilling leaue we take.</L>
