LOng haue I had long haires vpon my head, Long haue I had hid harmes within my heart, Yet none of those are powerfull for to plead The smallest salue or softning to my smart. Could I draw foorth the sharpe and golden dart, Wherewith allace, I secretlie am slaine: Or put those black vnpouled locks apart, For which the world accompts mee to be vaine: Could I to flit as to be fast be faine, Or thinke that foule that I haue thought too faire, There should no harme into my heat remaine, Nor should my head be ouerhung with haire. Sweet, if thou loues me, powll those locks I pray Yf not, cut life, loue, locks, and all away.
