My loue is strengthned though more weake in seeming
I loue not lesse, thogh lesse the show appeare, That loue is marchandiz'd, whose ritch esteeming, The owners tongue doth publish euery where. Our loue was new, and then but in the spring, When I was wont to greet it with my laies, As Philomell in summers front doth singe, And stops his pipe in growth of riper daies: Not that the summer is lesse pleasant now Then when her mournefull himns did hush the night, But that wild musick burthens euery bow, And sweets growne common loose their deare delight. Therefore like her, I some-time hold my tongue: Because I would not dull you with my songe.
