Anonymous. 160770. There is a Lady sweet and kind Thomas Ford’s Music of Sundry Kinds
THERE is a Lady sweet and kind, | |
Was never face so pleased my mind; | |
I did but see her passing by, | |
And yet I love her till I die. | |
Her gesture, motion, and her smiles, | 5 |
Her wit, her voice my heart beguiles, | |
Beguiles my heart, I know not why, | |
And yet I love her till I die. | |
Cupid is wingèd and doth range, | |
Her country so my love doth change: | 10 |
But change she earth, or change she sky, | |
Yet will I love her till I die. |
