Edmund Spenser - Amoretti: Sonnet 70 lyrics

Fresh spring the herald of loves mighty king, In whose cote armour richly are displayd all sorts of flowers the which on earth do spring in goodly colours gloriously arrayd. Goe to my love, where she is carelesse layd, yet in her winters bowre not well awake: tell her the joyous time wil not be staid unlesse she doe him by the forelock take. Bid her therefore her selfe soone ready make to wayt on love amongst his lovely crew: where every one that misseth then her make shall be by him amearst with penance dew. Make hast therefore sweet love, whilest it is prime, for none can call againe the pa**ed time.
