A LOOK-GLASS FOR LONDON AND ENGLAND: BEAUTY, A SONG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beauty, alas! Where waft thou born
Last Line: Heigho; and yet he eyes me not.
Subject(s): Beauty


Beauty, alas! where wast thou born,
Thus to hold thyself in scorn?
When as Beauty kiss'd to woo thee,
Thou by Beauty dost undo me,
Heigho, despise me not.
I and thou, in sooth are one,
Fairest thou, ay fairer none;
Wanton thou, and wilt thou wanton,
Yield a cruel heart to pant on?
Do me right, and do me reason,
Cruelty is cursèd treason:
Heigho, I love; heigho, I love!
Heigho; and yet he eyes me not.
