Love

Clarastella distrusting

by Robert Heath fl. 1636–1659

From Clarastella (1650), Poems, &c.

Love

You say you love me, nay can swear it too,
But stay Sir t'wil not doe;
I know you keep your oathes
Just as you wear your cloathes;
Whilst new, and fresh in fashion;
But once grown old you lay them by,
Forgot like words you speak in passion,
I'le not believe you, I.
