THE
SECOND BOOKE
OF
AYRES



William Corkine

1612

 

16. Shall a smile

 
    1     Shall a smile, or guilefull glance,
Or a sigh, that is but fayned,
Shall but teares that come by chance,
Make mee dote that was disdayned ?
    No, I will no more be chayned.

 
    2     Shall I sell my freedome so,
Being now from Loue remised ?
Shall I learne (what I doe know
To my cost) that Loue's disguised ?
    No, I will be more aduised.

 
    3     Must she fall ? and I must stand ?
Must she flye ? and I pursue her ?
Must I giue her hart, and land,
And, for nought, with them endue her ?
    No, first I will finde her truer.
