When every look these cheeks might stain, From deadly pale to glowing red ; By outward signs appeared plain, To her for help my heart was fled. But all too late Love learneth me To paint all kind of colours new ; To blind their eyes that else should see My speckled cheeks with Cupid's hue.
Página 25 - Now certes, lady, since all this is true, That from above thy gifts are thus elect, Do not deface them then with fancies new, Nor change of minds, let not the mind infect: But mercy him thy friend that doth thee serve, Who seeks alway thine honour to preserve.
