The Primrose.
ASk me why I send you here,This firstling of the infant year;Ask me why I send to you,This Primrose all bepearl'd with dew,I strait will whisper in your ears,The sweets of love are wash'd with tears
Ask me why this flower doth shew,So yellow, green, and sickly too;Ask me why the stalk is weak,And bending, yet it doth not break;I must tell you these discoverWhat doubts and fears are in a Lover.
