A FAREWELL TO LOUE

Farewell Loue, and louing folly
All thy thoughts are too vnholly:
Beauty strikes thee full of blindenesse
And then kils thee with vnkindnesse.

Farewell wit, and witty reason
All betrai'd by Fancies treason:
Loue hath of all joy bereft thee.
And to Sorrow only left thee.

Farewell will, and wilfull fancy,
All in daunger of a frenzy,
Love to Beauties bowe hath wonne thee
And togither all vndone thee.

Farewell Beauty Sorrowes agent;
Farewell Sorrow, Patience pagent;
Farewell Patience Passions stayer;
Farewell Passion, Loues betrayer.
Sorrows agent, Patience pagent
Passions stayer, Loues betrayer,

Beauty, Sorrow, Patience, Passion;
Farewell life, of such a fashion.
Fashion, so good fashions spilling;
Passion, so with passions killing:
Patience so with sorrow wounding;
Farewell Beauty Loues confounding.
