Come and let us live my deare, 1 Let us love and never feare, What the sowrest fathers say: Brightest Sol that dyes to day Lives againe as blith to morrow; 5 But if we darke sons of sorrow Set: O then how long a Night Shuts the eyes of our short light! Then let amorous kisses dwell On our lips, begin and tell 10 A thousand, and a hundred score, An hundred and a thousand more, Till another thousand smother That, and that wipe of[f] another. Thus at last when we have numbred 15 Many a thousand, many a hundred, Wee'l confound the reckoning quite, And lose our selves in wild delight: While our joyes so multiply, As shall mocke the envious eye. 20 WISHES. TO HIS (SUPPOSED) MISTRESSE.[84] 1. Who ere she be, 1 That not impossible she That shall command my heart and me; 2. Where ere she lye, Lock't up from mortall eye, 5 In shady leaves of Destiny; 3. Till that ripe birth Of studied Fate stand forth, And teach her faire steps tread our Earth; 4. Till that divine 10 Idæa, take a shrine Of chrystall flesh, through which to shine; 5. Meet you her, my wishes, Bespeake her to my blisses, And be ye call'd, my absent kisses. 15 6. I wish her, beauty That owes not all its duty To gaudy tire or glistring shoo-ty. 7. Something more than Taffata or tissew can, 20 Or rampant feather, or rich fan. 8. More than the spoyle Of shop, or silkeworme's toyle, Or a bought blush, or a set smile. 9. A face that's best 25 By its owne beauty drest, And can alone commend the rest. 10. A face made up, Out of no other shop Than what Nature's white hand sets ope. 30 11. A cheeke where Youth, And blood, with pen of Truth Write, what their reader sweetly ru'th. 12. A cheeke where growes More than a morning rose: 35 Which to no boxe his being owes. 13. Lipps, where all day A lover's kisse may play, Yet carry nothing thence away. 14. Lookes that oppresse 40 Their richest tires, but dresse Themselves in simple nakednesse. 15. Eyes, that displace The neighbour diamond, and out-face That sunshine, by their own sweet grace. 45 16. Tresses, that weare Iewells, but to declare How much themselves more pretious are. 17. Whose native ray, Can tame the wanton day 50 Of gems, that in their bright shades play.
