My love | is strength|ened though | more weak |
in seem|ing,
, , , ,
,
I love | not less,| though less | the show |
appear;

That love | is merch|andised,| whose^rich |
esteem|ing,

The own|er's tongue | doth pub|lish eve|ry where.

Our love | was new,| and then | but in | the
spring,
, , , , ,
When I | was wont | to greet | it with | my lays;
, , ,
, ,
As Phi|lomel | in sum|mer's front | doth^sing,
, , , , ,
And stops | his pipe | in growth | of rip|er
days:

Not that the | summer | is less pleas|ant now
, , ,
, ,
Than when | her mourn|ful hymns | did hush | the night,
, , , ,
,
But that / wild mus|ic burd|ens eve|ry bough

, ,
And sweets grown com|mon lose | their dear |
delight.
, , , ,
,
Therefore | like^her,| I some|time hold | my
tongue:
, , ,
, ,
Because | I would | not dull | you with | my
song.
