“O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O stay and hear, your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low.
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.”

When all her robes are on;
But Beauty’s self she is,
When all her robes are gone.”

I think ‘tis truth you say,
And I shall die to-morrow;
But you will die to-day.”
