| XCVII. "Love not me for comely grace" |
| |
| LOVE not me for comely grace, | |
| For my pleasing eye or face, | |
| Nor for any outward part, | |
| No, nor for my constant heart, | |
| For those may fail, or turn to ill, | 5 |
| So thou and I shall sever: | |
| Keep therefore a true woman's eye, | |
| And love me still, but know not why | |
| So hast thou the same reason still | |
| To doat upon me ever! | 10 |
