Come again! Sweet love doth now invite
(John Dowland, The Firste Booke of Songes 1597)
Come again! sweet love doth now invite
Thy graces that refrain to do me due delight,
To see, to hear, to touch, to kiss, to die
With thee again in sweetest sympathy.
Come again! That I may cease to mourn
Through thy unkind disdain,for now, left and forlorn
I sit, I sigh, I weep, I faint, I die
In deadly pain and endless misery.
Gentle Love, draw forth thy wounding dart,
Thou canst not pierce her heart,
For I that do approve by sighs and tears
More hot than are thy shafts
Did tempt while she for triumph laughs.
Flora gave me fairest flowers
