Giles Fletcher - To Licias XLII lyrics

For if alone thou think to waft my love, Her cold is such as can the sea command, And frozen ice shall let thy boat to move, Nor can thy forces row it from the land. But if thou friendly both at once shalt take, Thyself mayst rest. For why? My sighs will blow. Our cold and heat so sweet a thaw shall make, As that thy boat without thy help shall row. Then will I sit and glut me on those eyes Wherewith my life my eyes could never fill. Thus from my boat that comfort shall arise, The want whereof my life and hope did k**. Together placed so thou her scorn shalt cross, Where if we part thy boat must suffer loss.
