Love

Song.

by Thomas Carew 1595–1640

Love

WOuld you know what's soft? I dare,
Not bring you to the downe, or aire:
Nor to starres to shew what's bright,
Nor to snow to teach you white.

Nor if you would Musicke heare,
Call the orbes to take your eare▪
Nor to please your sence bring forth,
Bruised N…d or what's more worth.

Or on food were your thoughts plac'd,
Bring you Nectar, for a tast:
Would you have all these in one,
Name my mistris, and 'tis done.
