John Dowland
Say love if ever thou didst find
Say, Love if ever thou didst find
A woman with a constant mind
None but one
And what should that rare mirror be
Some goddess or some queen is she
She and only she
She only queen of love and beauty
But could thy fiery poison'd dart
At no time touch her spotless heart
Nor come near?
She is not subject to Love's bow
Her eye commands, her heart saith 'No'
No and only no
One no another still doth follow
How might I that fair wonder know
That mocks desire with endless no
See the moon
That ever in one changе doth grow
Yet still the same and shе is so
So and only so
From Heav'n her virtues she doth borrow
To her then yield thy shafts and bow
That can command affections so:
Love is free
So are her thoughts that vanquish thee
There is no queen of love but she
She and only she
She only queen of love and beauty
