THE INVITATION

by: Thomas Dekker

IVE with me still, and all the measures

Played to by the spheres I'll teach thee;

Let's but thus daily, all the pleasures

The moon beholds, her man shall reach thee.

 

Dwell in mine arms, aloft we'll hover,

And see fields of armies fighting:

Oh, part not from me! I'll discover

There all but [?] books of fancy's writing.

 

Be but my darling, age to free thee

From her curse, shall fall a-dying;

Call me thy empress, Time to see thee

Shall forget his art of flying.
