An vnhappy, solemne, ieasting curse

OH venome, cursed, wicked, wretched eyes,
The killing lookers on the heart of loue:
Where witching beauty liues but to deuise
The plague of wit, and passions hell to proue:

That snowy necke, that chillest, more then snowe,
Both eyes & harts, that liue but to behold thee:
That graceles lip, frō whēce loues grief dothgrow,
Who doth, in all his sweetest sense infold thee:

Those chaining hairs more hard then iron chains,
In tying fast the fairest thoughts of loue,
Yee shameful cheeks, that in your blushing vains,
The rauisht passions of the minde doe proue:

Yee spider fingers of those spitefull hands,
That worke but webbes, to tangle fancies eyes:
That Idole breast, that like an Image stands,
To worke the hell of reasons heresies:

Those Fairy feete, whose chary steppes doe steale
Those hearts, whose eies do but their shadowes see:
That ruthlesse spirit, that may well reueale,
Where loues confusions all included be:

To thee, that canst, or wilt not bend thy will,
To vse thy gifts all gratious in their nature,
To patience good, and not to passions ill,
And maist, and wilt not be a blessed creature,

I wish, and pray, thine eyes may weepe for woe
They cannot get one looke of thy beloued:
Thy snowy necke may be as colde as snowe,
With colde of feare, it hath no fancy moued.

Thy lippe, in anger by thy teeth be bitten,
It can not giue one kissing sweete of loue:
And, by thy hands, thy shriu'led haires be smitten,
For want of holding of thy hopes behoue:

Thy blushing cheekes loose all their liuely blood,
With pining passions of impatient thought:
That Idole bodie, like a piece of wood,
Consume, to see it is esteemd for nought.

Those spider fingers, and those Fairy feete
The crampe so crooke, that they may creepe for griefe:
And, in that spirit sorrowes poisons meete,
To bring on death, where loue hath no reliefe.

All these, and more iust measures of amisse
Vpon thy frownes, on faithfull loue, befall:
But, sweetly smile, & then heauēs pour their blisse
On thy hairs, neck, cheeks, lip, hands, feet, & all.
