Unless There Were Consent Lyrics by Philip Rosseter

A Book of Ayres

0

Unless there were consent twixt Hell and Heaven
That grace and wickedness should be combined
I cannot make thee and thy beauties even!
Thy face is Heaven and torture in my mind!
For more than worldly bliss is in thy eye
And hellish torture in my mind doth lie
A thousand cherubim fly in her looks
And hearts in legions melt upon their view
But gorgeous covers wall up filthy books
Be it sin to say that so your eyes do you?
But sure your mind adhеres not with your eyes
For what thеy promise, that your heart denies!
But O, lest I religion should misuse
Inspire me thou, that ought'st thyself to know!
(Since skilless readers reading do abuse)
What inward meaning outward sense doth show?
For by thy eyes and heart, chosen and contemned
I waver, whether savèd or condemned
