Never Love Unless |
|
Never love unless you can | |
Bear with all the faults of man: | |
Men sometimes will jealous be | |
Though but little cause they see; | |
And hang the head, as discontent, | |
And speak what straight they will repent. | |
Men that but one saint adore | |
Make a show of love to more. | |
Beauty must be scorned in none, | |
Though but truly served in one: | |
For what is courtship but disguise? | |
True hearts may have dissembling eyes. | |
Men, when their affairs require, | |
Must awhile themselves retire; | |
Sometimes hunt, and sometimes hawk, | |
And not ever sit and talk. | |
If these and such-like you can bear, | |
Then like, and love, and never fear! | |
