Doubt you to whom my Muse these notes intendethA
Which now my breast o'ercharged to music lendethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only in you my song begins and endethA
-
Who hath the eyes which marry state with pleasureC
Who keeps the key of Nature's chiefest treasureC
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only for you the heaven forgat all measureC
-
Who hath the lips where wit in fairness reignethA
Who womankind at once both decks and stainethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only by you Cupid his crown maintainethA
-
Who hath the feet whose step all sweetness plantethA
Who else for whom Fame worthy trumpets wantethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only to you her sceptre Venus grantethA
-
Who hath the breast whose milk doth passions nourishD
Whose grace is such that when it chides doth cherishD
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only through you the tree of life doth flourishD
-
Who hath the hand which without stroke subduethA
Who long dead beauty with increase renewethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only at you all envy hopeless ruethA
-
Who hath the hair which loosest fastest tiethA
Who makes a man live then glad when he diethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only of you the flatterer never liethA
-
Who hath the voice which soul from senses sundersE
Whose force but yours the bolts of beauty thundersE
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
-
Only with you not miracles are wondersE
-
Doubt you to whom my Muse these notes intendethA
Which now my breast o'ercharged to music lendethA
To you to you all song of praise is dueB
Only in you my song begins and endethA
