Without Love

Have I caught my heavenly jewel
Teaching sleep most fair to be?
Now will I teach her that she
When she wakes is too too cruel

Since sweet sleep her eyes hath charmed
The only two darts of love
Now will I with that boy prove
Some play while he is disarmed

We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love

See the hand which waking guardeth
Sleeping grants a free resort
Now I will invade the fort
Cowards love with no reward

But O fool think of the danger
Of her just and high disdain
Now I will alas refrain
Love fears nothing else but anger

We love

Yet those lips so sweetly swelling
Do invite a stealing kiss
Now will I but venture this
Who will read must first learn spelling

O sweet kiss—but ah she’s waking
Louring beauty chastens me
Now will I away hence flee
Fool more fool for no more taking

We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love

We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
We find most sweet affection's snare
That sweet but sour despairing care
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
Who can despair, whom hope doth bear?
And who can hope who feels despair?
We love and have our loves rewarded
We love and are no whit regarded
As without breath no pipe doth move
No music kindly without love

Without love
Without
Without
Without love
Without love
