Dost thou withdraw thy grace?
Language: English
Dost thou withdraw thy grace For that I should not love, And think'st thou to remove M' affections with thy face? As if that love did hold no part But where thy beauty lies, And were not in my heart Greater than in thy fair eyes? Ah yes! 'tis more, more is desire There, where it wounds and pines; As fire is far more fire Where it burns than where it shines.
