Richard Lovelace - A Apostacy Of One, And But One LadyRichard Lovelace - A Apostacy Of One, And But One Lady
Work rating: Low


                    I. That frantick errour I adore,   And am confirm`d the earth turns round; Now satisfied o`re and o`re,   As rowling waves, so flowes the ground, And as her neighbour reels the shore:   Finde such a woman says she loves;   She`s that fixt heav`n, which never moves.                     II. In marble, steele, or porphyrie,   Who carves or stampes his armes or face, Lookes it by rust or storme must dye:   This womans love no time can raze, Hardned like ice in the sun`s eye,   Or your reflection in a glasse,   Which keepes possession, though you passe.                     III. We not behold a watches hand   To stir, nor plants or flowers to grow; Must we infer that this doth stand,   And therefore, that those do not blow? This she acts calmer, like Heav`ns brand,   The stedfast lightning, slow loves dart,   She kils, but ere we feele the smart.                     IV. Oh, she is constant as the winde,   That revels in an ev`nings aire! Certaine as wayes unto the blinde,   More reall then her flatt`ries are; Gentle as chaines that honour binde,   More faithfull then an Hebrew Jew,   But as the divel not halfe so true.
