O Never say that I was false of heart, Though absence seem’d my flame to quallifie, As easie might I from my selfe depart, As from my soule which in thy brest doth lye: That is my home of love, if I have rang’d, Like him that travels I returne againe, Just to the time, not with the time exchang’d, So that my selfe bring water for my staine. Never beleeve though in my nature raign’d, All frailties that besiege all kindes of blood, That it could so preposterouslie be stain’d, To leave for nothing all thy summe of good: For nothing this wide Universe I call, Save thou my Rose, in it thou art my all.
