Love poems

Love Not Me

by John Wilbye

Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face,

Nor for any outward part:
No, nor for a constant heart!
For these may fail or turn to ill:
Should thou and I 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 ever.

  • 'I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shudder'd at it. I shudder no more.
    I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion.
    And I could die for that. I could die for you.'
