O that you were your selfe, but loue you are
No longer yours, then you your selfe here liue, Against this cumming end you should prepare, And your sweet semblance to some other giue. So should that beauty which you hold in lease Find no determination, then you were You selfe again after your selfes decease, When your sweet issue your sweet forme should beare. Who lets so faire a house fall to decay, Which husbandry in honour might vphold, Against the stormy gusts of winters day And barren rage of deaths eternall cold? O none but vnthrifts, deare my loue you know, You had a Father, let your Son say so.
