To his jealous Mistris.

ADmit (thou darling of mine eyes) I have some Idoll lately fram'd: That under such a false disguise, Our true loves might the lesse be fam'd. Canst thou that knowest my heart suppose, 'Ile fall from thee, and worship those.
Remember (deare) how loath and slow, I was to cast a looke or smile, Or one love-line to mis-bestow, Till thou hadst chang'd both face and stile. And art thou grow no afraid to see, That maske put on thou mad'st for me.
I dare not call those childish feares, Comming from love, much lesse from thee, But wash away with frequent teares, This counterfeit Idolatrie. And henceforth kneele at ne're a shrine, To blind the world, but only thine.
