Anonymous. 160971. Love not me for comely grace John Wilbye’s Second Set of Madrigals
| LOVE not me for comely grace, | |
| For my pleasing eye or face, | |
| Nor for any outward part, | |
| No, nor for a constant heart: | |
| For these may fail or turn to ill, | 5 |
| So thou and I shall sever: | |
| Keep, therefore, a true woman’s eye, | |
| And love me still but know not why— | |
| So hast thou the same reason still | |
| To doat upon me ever! | 10 |
