Low
I.
When I by thy faire shape did sweare,
And mingled with each vowe a teare,
I lov`d, I lov`d thee best,
I swore as I profest.
For all the while you lasted warme and pure,
My oathes too did endure.
But once turn`d faithlesse to thy selfe and old,
They then with thee incessantly grew cold.
II.
I swore my selfe thy sacrifice
By th` ebon bowes that guard thine eyes,
Which now are alter`d white,
And by the glorious light
Of both those stars, which of their spheres bereft,
Only the gellie`s left.
Then changed thus, no more I`m bound to you,
Then swearing to a saint that proves untrue.
