Love
A Dialogue between the Lover and His Lady
From A Poetical Rhapsody (1602), ed. A. H. Bullen (1890–91)
Lady, my flame still burning,
And my consuming anguish,
Doth grow so great that life I feel to languish:
Then let your heart be moved,
To end my grief and yours, so long time proved;
And quench the heat that my chief part so fireth,
Yielding the fruit that faithful love requireth.
