Love

Caelica, Sonnet LXXIV

by Fulke Greville 1554–1628

From Caelica (1633)

Love

ENdymions poore hapt is,
That while Loue sleepes, the heauens kisse,
But silent Loue is simple wooing,
Euen Destiny would haue vs doing.
Boldnesse neuer yet was chidden,
Till by Loue it be forbidden,
Myra leaues him, and knowes best,
What shall become of all the rest.
