Now thou hast lov'd me one whole day,
Tomorrow ______ thou leav'st, what wilt thou say?
Wilt thou then ______ some new made vow?
             Or say that now
______ are not just those persons, which we were?
Or, ______ oathes made in reverentiall feare
Of Love, and his wrath, any may forsweare?
Or, as true deaths, true maryages untie,
So lovers contracts, images of those,
Binde but till sleep, deaths image, them unloose?
             Or, your owne end ______ Justifie,
For having purpos'd change, and falsehood; you
Can ______ no way but falsehood to be true?
Vaine lunatique, ______ these scapes I could
             Dispute, and conquer, if ______ would,
             Which I abstaine to doe,
For by tomorrow, I may thinke so too.

Antedate I We against have that to when
