Go, angry One, and let tears cold
Put out the fires thine eyes now hold;
Let those dark clouds, that make my pain,
Clear themselves pure with thine eyes' rain;
Let Thy cheeks' roses, that once stood
Unblemished by wild Passion's blood,
Be washed by thee in penance dew,
To gain back their first happy hue;
Recover thy voice, sweet and low,
That has such little music now.
But let not anger frost, and kill
The trembling flowers of Love that will
Come pleading unto you for me -
Which would for both great pity be.
Go, angry Beauty, and get calm;
And, when thou art all spent of harm,
Look how I come with greater love;
And anger once again will move
Thee, my wild Pet - but not so strong
That you will think my kisses wrong.
