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.
