The Mind
An odde conceipt
From Melancholike Humours (1600)
The Mind
LOVELY kinde, and kindly louing,
Such a minde were worth the mouing:
Truly faire, and fairely true,
Where are all these, but in you?
Wisely kinde, and kindely wise,
Blessed life, where such loue lies.
Wise, and kinde, and faire, and true,
Louely liue all these in you.
Sweetely deare, and dearely sweete,
Blessed where these blessings meete.
Sweete, faire, wise, kinde, blessed, true,
Blessed be all these in you.
