Long Have Mine Eyes Gaz’d Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

Long have mine eyes gaz’d with delight
Conveying hopes unto my soul
In nothing happy but in sight
Of her that doth my sight control
But now mine eyes must lose their light
My object now must be the air
To write in water words of fire
And teach sad thoughts how to despair
Desert must quarrel with desire
All were appeas’d were she not fair
For all my comfort this I prove
That Venus on the sea was borne
If seas be calm then doth she love
If storms arisе I am forlorn
My doubtful hopes like wind do move
