Who shall thy bright eyes admire, what lips triumph with thine ? Day by day who'll visit thee and say " Th 'art only mine " ? Such a time there was, God wot, but such shall never be. Too oft, I fear, thou wilt remember me. 54 LOVE-POEMS. From Thomas Campion 's/o«/V// Book of Airs (circ. 1617). T T ER fair inflaming eyes, J--*- Chief authors of my cares, I prayed in humblest wise With grace to view my tears : They beheld me broad awake, But alas no ruth would take. Her lips with kisses rich, And... words of fair delight, I fairly did beseech To pity my sad plight : But a voice from them broke forth, As a whirlwind from the north. Then to her hands I fled. That can give heart and all ; To them I long did plead. And loud for pity call : But, alas, they put me off With a touch worse than a scoff. So back I straight return'd, And at her breast I knock'd, Where long in vain I mourn'd. Her heart so fast was lock'd : Not a word could passage find, For a rock enclosed her mind. LO VE-POEMS. 55 Then down my prayers made way To those most comely parts That make her fly or stay, As they affect deserts : But her angry feet, thus moved, Fled with all the parts I loved.
