The Time When I First Fell in Love
the time when i first fell in love;
which now i must lament
the year wherein i lost such time
to compass my content.

the day wherein i saw too late
the follies of a lover;
the hour wherein i found such loss
as care cannot recover.

and last, the minute of mishap,
which makes me thus to plain
the doleful fruits of a lover's suits
which labour lose in vain:

doth make me solemnly protest,
as i with pain do prove
there is no time, year, day, nor hour
nor minute, good to love.
