SHE which would not I would choose: She which would I would refuse. Venus could my mind but tame, But not satisfy the same. Enticements offer'd I despise, And, deni'd, I slightly prize. I would neither glut my mind, Nor yet too much torment find. Twice-girt Diana doth not take me, Nor Venus naked joyful make me. The first no pleasure hath to joy me, And the last enough to cloy me. But a crafty wench I'd have, That can sell the act I crave: And join at once in me these two -- I will, and yet I will not do. |
