Shall Then a Traitorous Kiss Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

Shall then a traitorous kiss or a smile
All my delights unhappily beguile?
Shall the vow of feigned love receive so rich regard
When true service dies neglected, and wants his due reward ?
Deeds meritorious soon be forgot
But one offence no time can ever blot;
Every day it is renewed, and every night it bleeds
And with bloody streams of sorrow drowns all our better deeds
Beauty is not by desert to be won;
Fortune hath all that is beneath the sun
Fortune is the guide of Love, and both of them be blind :
All their ways are full of errors, which no true feet can find
