Love not me for comely grace
Anonymous, 1600

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!
