That my steel’d sense or changes right or wrong. To know my shames and praises from your tongue You are my all the world, and I must strive Which vulgar scandal stamp’d upon my brow įor what care I who calls me well or ill, Your love and pity doth the impression fill Therefore like her, I sometime hold my tongue:īecause I would not dull you with my song.īreathed forth the sound that said ‘I hate’ Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night,īut that wild music burthens every bough,Īnd sweets grown common lose their dear delight. When I was wont to greet it with my lays Īnd stops his pipe in growth of riper days: Our love was new, and then but in the spring, The owner’s tongue doth publish every where.
