Sir Edward Dyer Hope Poems
- 1. Coridon To His Phillis
Alas my hart, mine eye hath wrongèd thee,
Presumptious eye, to gaze on Phillis face:
Whose heavenly eye no mortall man may see
But he must die, or purchase Phillis grace.
... - 2. The Faire Amarillis
Amarillis was full fayre:
The goodlyest mayde was she
From the east unto the west
That heaven's eye could se.
... - 3. I Would And I Would Not
I woulde it were not as it is
Or that I cared not yea or no;
I woulde I thoughte it not amiss,
Or that amiss mighte blamles goo;
... - 4. A Fancy
Hee that his mirth hath loste,
Whose comfort is dismaid,
Whose hope is vaine, whose faith is scorned,
Whose trust is all betraid,
...
