William Smith - "When I more large thy praises forth shall show" lyrics

When I more large thy praises forth shall show That all the world thy beauty shall admire, Desiring that most sacred nymph to know Which hath the shepherd's fancy set on fire; Till then, my dear, let these thine eyes content; Till then, fair love, think if I merit favor; Till then, oh, let thy merciful a**ent Relish my hopes with some comforting savor. So shall you add such courage to my muse That she shall climb the steep Parna**us hill, That learned poets shall my deeds peruse When I from thence obtainèd have more sk**. And what I sing shall always be of thee As long as life or breath remains in me!
