SONG. To my Mistris, I burning in love.
I Burn, and cruell you, in vainHope to quench me with disdain;If from your eyes, those sparkles came,That have kindled all this flame,What boots it me, though now you shrowdThose fierce Comets in a cloud?Since all the flames that I have felt,Could your snow yet never melt,Nor, can your snow (though you should takeAlps into your bosome) slakeThe heat of my enamour'd heart;But with wonder learn Loves artNo seas of yce can cool desire,Equall flames must quench Loves fire;Then think not that my heat can dyeTill you burn as wel as I.
