False beleefe.
WHen my Love sweares that she is made of truth,I doe beleeve her (though I know she lies)That she might thinke me some untutor'd youth,Vnskilfull in the worlds false forgeries.Thus vainly thinking that she thinkes me young▪Although I know my yeares be past the best:I smiling▪ credit her false speaking tongue,Outfacing faults in Love, with loves ill rest.But wherefore sayes my love that shee is young?And wherefore say not I, that I am old?O, Loves best habit is a soothing tongue,And Age (in love) loves not to have yeares told▪
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
Therefore Ile lie with Love, and Love with me,Since that our faults in Love thus smother'd be.
