Dear, If You Change

Dear, if you change

I'll never choose again,

sweet, if you shrink

I'll never think of love,

Fair, if you fail,

I'll judge all beauty vain,

Wise, if too weak,

more wits i'll never prove.

Dear, sweet, fair, wise,

change, shrink, nor be not weak,

and on my faith

shall never break.

Earth with flowers

shall sooner heav'n adorn,

heaven her bright stars

through earths dim globe shall move,

fire heat shall loose

and frost of flames be born

air made to shine

as black as hell shall prove

Earth, heaven, fire, air,

the world transform'd shall be,

e're I prove false to faith

or strange to you.
