LOVE mistress is of many minds	A
Yet few know whom they serve	B
They reckon least how little Love	C
Their service doth deserve	B
	-
The will she robbeth from the wit	D
The sense from reason's lore	E
She is delightful in the rind	F
Corrupted in the core	E
	-
She shroudeth vice in virtue's veil	G
Pretending good in ill	H
She offereth joy affordeth grief	I
A kiss where she doth kill	H
	-
A honey shower rains from her lips	J
Sweet lights shine in her face	K
She hath the blush of virgin mind	F
The mind of viper's race	K
	-
She makes thee seek yet fear to find	F
To find but not enjoy	L
In many frowns some gliding smiles	M
She yields to more annoy	L
	-
She woos thee to come near her fire	N
Yet doth she draw it from thee	O
Far off she makes thy heart to fry	P
And yet to freeze within thee	O
	-
She letteth fall some luring baits	Q
For fools to gather up	R
Too sweet too sour to every taste	S
She tempereth her cup	R
	-
Soft souls she binds in tender twist	T
Small flies in spinner's web	U
She sets afloat some luring streams	V
But makes them soon to ebb	U
	-
Her watery eyes have burning force	W
Her floods and flames conspire	N
Tears kindle sparks sobs fuel are	X
And sighs do blow her fire	N
	-
May never was the month of love	C
For May is full of flowers	Y
But rather April wet by kind	F
For love is full of showers	Y
	-
Like tyrant cruel wounds she gives	Z
Like surgeon salve she lends	A2
But salve and sore have equal force	W
For death is both their ends	A2
	-
With soothing words enthralled souls	B2
She chains in servile bands	C2
Her eye in silence hath a speech	D2
Which eye best understands	C2
	-
Her little sweet hath many sours	Y
Short hap immortal harms	E2
Her loving looks are murd'ring darts	F2
Her song bewitching charms	E2
	-
Like winter rose and summer ice	G2
Her joys are still untimely	O
Before her Hope behind Remorse	W
Fair first in fine unseemly	O
	-
Moods passions fancy's jealous fits	H2
Attend upon her train	I2
She yieldeth rest without repose	J2
And heaven in hellish pain	I2
	-
Her house is Sloth her door Deceit	K2
And slippery Hope her stairs	L2
Unbashful Boldness bids her guests	M2
And every vice repairs	L2
	-
Her diet is of such delights	N2
As please till they be past	O2
But then the poison kills the heart	P2
That did entice the taste	S
	-
Her sleep in sin doth end in wrath	Q2
Remorse rings her awake	R2
Death calls her up Shame drives her out	S2
Despairs her upshot make	R2
	-
Plough not the seas sow not the sands	C2
Leave off your idle pain	I2
Seek other mistress for your minds	A
Love's service is in vain	I2
