R. HERRICK.

97.

Love not me for comely grace,

For my pleasing eye or face,

Nor for any outward part,

No, nor for a constant heart,--

For these may fail, or turn to ill,

So thou and I shall sever:

Keep, therefore, a true woman's eye,

And love me still, but know not why--

So hast thou the same reason still

To doat upon me ever!
