so these extremes shall neer their office do ；
love me； that i may die the gentler way ；
hate me； because thy loves too great for me ；
or let these two； themselves； not me； decay ；
so shall i live thy stage； not triumph be。
lest thou thy love and hate； and me undo；
o let me live； yet love and hate me too。
the expiration。
so； so； break off this last lamenting kiss；
which sucks two souls； and vapours both away ；
turn； thou ghost； that way； and let me turn this；
and let ourselves benight our happiest day。
we ask none leave to love ； nor will we owe
any so cheap a death as saying； 〃go。〃
go ； and if that word have not quite killed thee；
ease me with death； by bidding me go too。
or； if it have； let my word work on me；
and a just office on a murderer do。
except it be too late； to kill me so；
being double dead； going； and bidding； 〃go。〃
the putation。
for my first twenty years； since yesterday；
i scarce believed thou couldst be gone away ；
for forty more i fed on favours past；
and forty on hopes that thou wouldst they might last ；
tears drownd one hundred； and sighs blew out two ；
a thousand； i did neither think nor do；
or not divide； all being one thought of you ；
or in a thousand more； forgot that too。
yet call not this long life ； but think that i
am； by being dead； immortal ； can ghosts die ？
the paradox。
no lover saith； i love； nor any other
can judge a perfect lover ；
he thinks that else none can or will agree；
that any loves but he ；
i cannot say i loved； for who can say
he was killd yesterday。
love with excess of heat； more young than old；
death kills with too much cold ；
we die but once； and who loved last did die；
he that saith； twice； doth lie ；
for though he seem to move； and stir a while；
it doth the sense beguile。
such life is like the light which bideth yet
when the lifes light is set；
or like the heat which fire in solid matter
leaves behind； two hours after。
once i loved and died ； and am now bee
mine epitaph and tomb ；
here dead men speak their last； and so do i ；
love…slain； lo ！ here i die。
song。
souls joy； now i am gone；
and you alone；
—which cannot be；
since i must leave myself with thee；
and carry thee with me—
yet when unto our eyes
absence denies
each others sight；
and makes to us a constant night；
when others change to light ；
o give no way to grief；
but let belief
of mutual love
this wonder to the vulgar prove；
our bodies； not we move。
let not thy wit beweep
words but sense deep ；
for when we miss
by distance our hopes joining bliss；
even then our souls shall kiss ；
fools have no means to meet；
but by their feet ；
why should our clay
over our spirits so much sway；
to tie us to that way？
o give no way to grief； &c。
farewell to love。
whilst yet to prove
i thought there was some deity in love；
so did i reverence； and gave
worship ； as atheists at their dying hour
call； what they cannot name； an unknown power；
as ignorantly did i crave。
thus when
things not yet known are coveted by men；
our desires give them fashion； and so
as they wax lesser； fall； as they size； grow。
but； from late fair；
his highness sitting in a golden chair；
is not less cared for after three days
by children； than the thing which lovers so
blindly admire； and with such worship woo ；
being had； enjoying it decays ；
and thence；
what before pleased them all； takes but one sense；
and that so lamely； as it leaves behind
a kind of sorrowing dulness to the mind。
ah cannot we；
as well as cocks and lions； jocund be
after such pleasures； unless wise
nature decreed—since each such act； they say；
diminisheth the length of life a day—
this ； as she would man should despise
the sport；
because that other curse of being short；
and only for a minute made to be
eager； desires to raise posterity。
since so； my mind
shall not desire what no man else can find ；
ill no more dote and run
to pursue things which had endamaged me ；
and when i e where moving beauties be；
as men do when the summers sun
grows great；
though i admire their greatness； shun their heat。
each place can afford shadows ； if all fail；
tis but applying worm…seed to the tail。
a lecture upon the shadow。
stand still； and i will read to thee
a lecture； love； in loves philosophy。
these three hours that we have spent；
walking here； two shadows went
along with us； which we ourselves produced。
but； now the sun is just above our head；
we do those shadows tread；
and to brave clearness all things are reduced。
so whilst our infant loves did grow；
disguises did； and shadows； flow
from us and our cares ； but now tis not so。
that love hath not attaind the highest degree；
which is still diligent lest others see。
except our loves at this noon stay；
we shall new shadows make the other way。
as the first were made to blind
others； these which e behind
will work upon ourselves； and blind our eyes。
if our loves faint； and westerwardly decline；
to me thou； falsely； thine
and i to thee mine actions shall disguise。
the morning shadows wear away；
but these grow longer all the day ；
but o ！ loves day is short； if love decay。
love is a growing； or full constant light；
and his short minute； after noon； is night。

if her disdain least change in you can move；
you do not love；
for when that hope gives fuel to the fire；
you sell desire。
love is not love； but given free ；
and so is mine ； so should yours be。

her heart； that weeps to hear of others moan；
to mine is stone。
her eyes； that weep a strangers eyes to see；
joy to wound me。
yet i so well affect each part；
as—caused by them—i love my smart。

say her disdainings justly must be graced
with name of chaste ；
and that she frowns lest longing should exceed；
