Now fye vpon thee wayward loueA
Woe to Venus which did nurse theeB
Heauen and earth thy plagues doe proueC
Gods and men haue cause to curse theeB
What art thou but th' extreamst madnesseD
Natures first and only errorC
That consum'st our daies in sadnesseD
By the minds Continuall terrorC
Walking in Cymerian blindnesseD
In thy courses voy'd of reasonE
Sharp reproofe thy only kindnesseD
In thy trust the highest treasonE
Both the Nymph and ruder swaineF
Vexing with continuall anguishG
Which dost make the ould complaineF
And the young to pyne and languisheG
Who thee keepes his care doth nurseD
That seducest all to follyB
Blessing bitterly doest curseD
Tending to destruction whollyB
Thus of thee as I beganF
So againe I make an endH
Neither god neither manF
Neither faiery neither feendH

What is Loue but the desireC
Of the thing that fancy pleasethB
A holy and resistlesse fierC
Weake and strong alike that ceasethB
Which not heauen hath power to letH
Nor wise nature cannot smotherC
Whereby Phoebus doth begetteH
On the vniuersall motherC
That the euerlasting ChaineF
Which together al things tiedH
And vnmooued them retayneF
And by which they shall abideH
That concent we cleerely findH
All things doth together draweI
And so strong in euery kindeH
Subiects them to natures lawA
Whose hie virtue number teachesD
In which euery thing dooth mooueJ
From the lowest depth that reachesD
To the height of heauen aboueK
Harmony that wisely foundH
When the cunning hand doth strikeL
Whereas euery amorous soundH
Sweetly marryes with his likeL
The tender cattell scarcely takeM
From their damm's the feelds to proueC
But ech seeketh out a makeM
Nothing liues that doth not loueA
Not soe much as but the plantH
As nature euery thing doth payreC
By it if the male it wantH
Doth dislike and will not beareC
Nothing then is like to loueA
In the which all creatures beK
From it nere let me remooueJ
Nor let it remooue from meJ
