Upon Love.
LOve brought me to a silent Grove,And shew'd me there a Tree,Where some had hang'd themselves for love,And gave a Twist to me.
The Halter was of silk, and gold,That he reacht forth unto me:No otherwise, then if he wouldBy dainty things undo me.
He bade me then that Neck-lace use;And told me too, he makethA glorious end by such a Noose,His Death for Love that taketh.
'Twas but a dream; but had I beenThere really alone;My desp'rate feares, in love, had seenMine Execution.
