Take, oh take those lips away, that so sweetly were for sworn, And those eyes: the break of day lights that do misled the Morn; But my kisses bring again, bring again, Seals of love, but sealed in vain, sealed in vain. Break off thy song, and haste thee quick away, Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent. I cry you mercy, Sir, and well could wish You had not found me here so musical. Let me excuse me, and believe me so, My mirth it much displeased, but pleased my woe. 'Tis good; though Music oft hath such a charm To make bad, good; and good provoke to harm. I pray you tell me, hath any body inquired for me here to day; much upon this time have I promised here to meet. You have not been inquired after: I have sat here all day. I do constantly believe you: the time is come even now. I shall crave your forbearance a little, may be I will call upon you anon for some advantage to yourself. I am always bound to you. Very well met, and well come: What is the news from this good Deputy? He hath a Garden circummured with Brick, Whose western side is with a Vineyard backed; And to that Vineyard is a planched gate, That makes his opening with this bigger Key: This other doth command a little door, Which from the Vineyard to the Garden leads, There have I made my promise, upon the Heavy middle of the night, to call upon him. But shall you on your knowledge find this way? I have taken a due, and wary note upon't, With whispering, and most guilty diligence, In action all of precept, he did show me The way twice over. Are there no other tokens Between you agreed, concerning her observance? No: none but only a repair i'th' dark, And that I have possessed him, my most stay Can be but brief: for I have made him know, I have a Servant comes with me along That stays upon me; whose persuasion is, I come about my Brother. 'Tis well borne up. I have not yet made known to Mariana A word of this: what hoa, within; come forth, I pray you be acquainted with this Maid, She comes to do you good. I do desire the like. Do you persuade yourself that I respect you? Good Friar, I know you do, and have found it. Take then this your companion by the hand Who hath a story ready for your ear: I shall attend your leisure, but make haste The vaporous night approaches. Wilt please you walk aside. Oh Place, and greatness: millions of false eyes Are stuck upon thee: volumes of report Run with these false, and most contrarious Quest Upon thy doings: thousand escapes of wit Make thee the father of their idle dream, And rack thee in their fancies. Welcome, how agreed?

Take, oh take thoſe lips away, that ſo ſweetly were for ſworne, And thoſe eyes: the breake of day lights that doe miſlead the Morne; But my kiſſes bring againe, bring againe, Seales of loue, but ſeal'd in vaine, ſeal'd in vaine. Breake off thy ſong, and haſte thee quick away, Here comes a man of comfort, whoſe aduice Hath often ſtill'd my brawling diſcontent. I cry you mercie, Sir, and well could wiſh You had not found me here ſo muſicall. Let me excuſe me, and beleeue me ſo, My mirth it much diſpleaſ'd, but pleaſ'd my woe. 'Tis good; though Muſick oft hath ſuch a charme To make bad, good; and good prouoake to harme. I pray you tell me, hath any body enquir'd for mee here to day; much vpon this time haue I promiſ'd here to meete. You haue not bin enquir'd after: I haue ſat here all day. I doe conſtantly beleeue you: the time is come euen now. I ſhall craue your forbearance a little, may be I will call vpon you anone for ſome aduantage to your ſelfe. I am alwayes bound to you. Very well met, and well come: What is the newes from this good Deputie? He hath a Garden circummur'd with Bricke, Whoſe weſterne ſide is with a Vineyard back't; And to that Vineyard is a planched gate, That makes his opening with this bigger Key: This other doth command a little doore, Which from the Vineyard to the Garden leades, There haue I made my promiſe, vpon the Heauy midle of the night, to call vpon him. But ſhall you on your knowledge find this way? I haue t'ane a due, and wary note vpon't, With whiſpering, and moſt guiltie diligence, In action all of precept, he did ſhow me The way twice ore. Are there no other tokens Betweene you 'greed, concerning her obſeruance? No: none but onely a repaire ith' darke, And that I haue poſſeſt him, my moſt ſtay Can be but briefe: for I haue made him know, I haue a Seruant comes with me along That ſtaies vpon me; whoſe perſwaſion is, I come about my Brother. 'Tis well borne vp. I haue not yet made knowne to Mariana A word of this: what hoa, within; come forth, I pray you be acquainted with this Maid, She comes to doe you good. I doe deſire the like. Do you perſwade your ſelfe that I reſpect you? Good Frier, I know you do, and haue found it. Take then this your companion by the hand Who hath a ſtorie readie for your eare: I ſhall attend your leiſure, but make haſte The vaporous night approaches. Wilt pleaſe you walke aſide. Oh Place, and greatnes: millions of falſe eies Are ſtucke vpon thee: volumes of report Run with theſe falſe, and moſt contrarious Queſt Vpon thy doings: thouſand eſcapes of wit Make thee the father of their idle dreame, And racke thee in their fancies.
