Love me not for comely grace
Love me not for comely grace,
for my pleasing eye or face;
nor for any outward part,
no not for a constant heart:
for these may fail or turn to ill,
so thou and I shall sever.
Keep, therefore a true woman's eye,
and love me still, but know not why;
So hast thou the same reason still
to dote upon me forever.
