Come live with mee, and bee my love,
And will some new pleasures prove
Of golden sands, and brookes,
With silken lines, and silver hookes.
There will river whispering runne
Warm'd by thy eyes, more the Sunne.
And there the'inamor'd fish will stay,
Begging they may betray.
When thou wilt swimme in that bath,
Each fish, which every channell hath,
Will to thee swimme,
Gladder to catch thee, then thou him.
If thou, to be so seene, beest loath,
By Sunne, or Moone, thou darknest both,
And if my selfe leave to see,
I need not their light, thee.
Let others freeze with angling reeds,
And cut legges, with shells and weeds,
Or treacherously poore fish beset,
With strangling snare, or windowie net:
Let coarse hands, from slimy nest
The bedded fish in banks out-wrest,
Or curious traitors, sleavesilke flies
Bewitch poore fishes wandring eyes.
For thee, thou needst no such deceit,
For thy selfe art thine owne bait;
That fish, that not catch'd thereby,
Alas, is wiser farre then I.
