Negative love.
I Never stoop'd so low, as theyWhich on an eye, cheeke, lip, can prey,Seldome to them, which soare no higherThen vertue or the minde to'admire,For sense, and understanding mayKnow, what gives fuell to their fire:My love, though silly, is more brave,For may I misse, when ere I crave,If I know yet, what I would have.
If that be simply perfectestWhich can by no way be exprestBut Negatives, my love is so.To All, which all love, I say no.If any who deciphers best,What we know not, our selves, can know,Let him teach mee that nothing; ThisAs yet my ease, and comfort is,Though I speed not, I cannot misse.
