Can She Excuse My Wrongs
Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's cloak Shall I call her good when she proves unkind Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find
No no: where shadows do for bodies stand Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim Cold love is like to words written on sand Or to bubbles which on the water swim
Wilt thou be thus abused still Seeing that she will right thee never If thou can'st not o'ercome her will Thy love will be thus fruitless ever
Was I so base, that I might not aspire Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Unto those high joys which she holds from me As they are high, so high is my desire If she this deny, what can granted be
If she will yield to that which Reason is, It is Reason's will that Love should be just Dear, make me happy still by granting this Or cut off delays if that I die must
Better a thousand times to die Than for to live thus still tormented Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contented
