By. Sir John SucklingWhy So Pale and Wan?
W
Prithee why so pale?
Will, when looking well can’t move her,
Looking ill prevail?
Prithee why so pale?
Prithee why so mute?
Will, when speaking well can’t win her,
Say nothing do ’t?
Prithee why so mute?
This cannot take her;
If of herself she will not love,
Nothing can make her;
The devil take her.
