  • 1WHerfore peepſt thou, envious daye?
  • Critical Apparatus2We can kiſſe without thee.
  • 3Lovers hate the golden raye,
  • 4  Which thou bearſt about thee.
  • pg 4525Goe and give them light that ſorowe
  • 6  Or the ſaylor flyinge:
  • 7Our imbraces need noe morowe
  • 8  Nor our bliſſes eying.
  • Critical Apparatus9We ſhall curſe thy curyous eye

  • 13Gett thee gone and lend thy flaſhes
  • 14  Where there's need of lendinge,

  • 16  Nor our pleaſures endinge.
  • 17Weare we cold or withered heare
  • 18  We would ſtay thee by us,
  • Critical Apparatus19Or but one anothers feare
  • 20  Then thou ſhouldst not flye us.
  • 21Wee are yongue, thou ſpoilst our pleaſure;
  • 22  Goe to ſea and ſlumber,
  • Critical Apparatus23Darknes only gives us leaſure
  • 24  Our stolne joyes to number.
