1053 If that the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee and be thy love. That which with scorn she put away. What though she strive to try her strength, And to her will frame all thy ways: The strongest castle, tower, and town, Serve always with assured trust, When time shall serve, be thou not slack The wiles and guiles that women work, A woman's nay doth stand for nought? +Think women still to strive with men, But, soft! enough, too much, I fear: To teach my tongue to be so long: Yet will she blush, here be it said, To hear her secrets so bewray'd. [xx.] Live with me, and be my love, 320 330 340 350 [xxI.] As it fell upon a day In the merry month of May, Which a grove of myrtles made, Beasts did leap, and birds did sing. Trees did grow, and plants did spring: Every thing did banish moan, Save the nightingale alone: She, poor bird, as all forlorn, Lean'd her breast up-till a thorn, And there sung the dolefull'st ditty, Senseless trees they cannot hear thee: All thy friends are lapp'd in lead; All thy fellow birds do sing, Even so, poor bird, like thee, None alive will pity me. Whilst as fickle Fortune smiled, Every one that flatters thee Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find: Whilst thou hast wherewith to spend; If that one be prodigal, 386 300 400 410 If he be addict to vice, 420 He that is thy friend indeed, THE PHOENIX AND THE TURTLE.
