Sir Walter Raleigh?

As You Came from the Holy Land 1 As you came from the holy territory 2 Of Walsingham, 3 Met you not with my original love 4 By the musical mode as you came? 5 How shall I know your true love, 6 That pay back met many one, 7 I went to the holy land, 8 That have come, that have gone? 9 She is neither white, nor brown, 10 and as the heavens fair 11 There is none hath a condition so divine 12 In the earth, or the air. 13 much(prenominal) a one did I meet, good sir, 14 Such an sweetened face, 15 Who like a queen, like a nymph, did appear 6 By her gait, by her grace. 17 She hath left me here all alone, 18 All alone, as unknown, 19 Who sometimes did me lead with herself, 20 And me love as her own. 21 Whats the cause that she leaves you alone, 22 And a new way doth take, 23 Who loved you once as her own, 24 And her joy did you confound? 25 I have lovd her all my youth 26 But now old, as you see, 27 Love likes not the falling fruit 28 From the withered tree. 29 Know that Love is a perfunctory child, 0 And forgets promise past 31 He is blind, he is deaf(p) when he list, 32 And in faith n ever so fast. 33 His believe is a dureless content, 34 And a trustless joy 35 He is won with a world of despair, 36 And is lost with a toy. 37 Of womenkind such(prenominal) indeed is the love, 38 Or the word love abusd, 39 chthonic which many childish desires 40 And conceits are excusd. 41 But true love is a durable fire, 42 In the mind ever burning, 43 Never sick, never old, never dead, 44 From itself never turning.
