Goe, lovely rose, Goe, lovely rose, Goe, lovely, lovely rose, tell her that wastes her time and mee, tell her that wastes her time and mee, tell her that wastes her time and mee, that now she knows, she knows, that now she knows, she knows, that now she knows when I resemble her to thee, when I resemble her to thee, when I resemble her to thee, how sweet and fair she seems to be. how sweet and fair she seems to be. she seems to be she seems to be. Tell her that's young And shuns to have her graces spied That hadst thou sprung, in deserts where no man abide Thou must uncommended died Small is the worth Of beauty from the light retir'd Bid her come forth, Suffer herselfe to be desir'd And not blush so to be admir'd Then dye, that shee The common fate of all things rare May read in thee, How small a part of time they share That are so wondrous sweet and fayre
