Love
Upon Her Beauty and Inconstancy
From A Poetical Rhapsody (1602), ed. A. H. Bullen (1890–91)
Love
Whosoever longs to try
Both love and jealousy,
My fair inconstant lady let him see,
And he will soon a jealous lover be.
Then he by proof shall know,
As I do to my woe,
How they make my poor heart at once to dwell.
In fire and frost, in heaven and in hell.
