Captain Tobias Hume's The Ftrst
>AIN would I change that note To which fond Love hath charm'd me
Long, long to sing by rote,
Fancying that that harm'd me:
Yet when this thought doth come,
'Love is the perfect sum Of all delight,'
I have no other choice
Either for pen or voice To sing or write.
Love' they wrong thee much That say thy sweet is bitter, When thy rich fruit is such
As nothing can be sweeter. Fair house of joy and bliss, Where truest pleasure is, 1 do adore thee.
1 know thee what thou art, I serve thee with my heart,
And fall before thee.
j8 Since First I saw your Face
Thomas Ford's Music of
SINCE first I saw jour face I resolved to honour and renown ye;
If now I be disdained I wish my heart ha A never known ye. What? I that loved and you that liked, shall we begin to
wrangle? No, no, no, my heart is fast, and cannot disentangle.
