pt. 1. Sweet, come again. And would you see my mistress' face? No grave for woe. If I urge my kind desires. What heart's content? Let him that will be free. Reprove not love. And would you fain the reason know? When Laura smiles. Long have mine eyes gazed.--pt. 2. Though far from joy. Shall I come if I swim? Ay me, that love. Shall then a traitorous kiss? If I hope, I pine. Unless there were consent. If she forsake me. What is a day? Kind in unkindness. What then is love but mourning? Whether men do laugh or weep
