Love

Love suffers no Parasol

by William Drummond of Hawthornden 1585–1649

Love

THose Eyes, deare Eyes, be Spheares
Where two bright Suns are roll'd,
That faire Hand to behold
Of whitest Snow appeares:
Then while ye coyly stand
To hide from me those Eyes,
Sweet I would you advise
To chuse some other fanne than that white Hand:
For if ye do, for truth most true this know,
Those Suns ere long must needs consume warme Snow.
