Out Upon It

By Sir John Suckling

Topics: classic

Out upon it, I have loved             Three whole days together;     And am like to love three more,             If it prove fair weather.     Time shall moult away his wings,             Ere he shall discover     In the whole wide world again             Such a constant Lover.     But the spite on't is, no praise             Is due at all to me:     Love with me had made no stays,             Had it any been but she.     Had it any been but she,             And that very face,     There had been at least ere this             A dozen dozen in her place.
