Love bade me welcome

Lyrics

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back Guilty of dust and sin But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning If I lack'd anything A guest, I answer'd, worthy to be here: Love said, You shall be he I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear I cannot look on thee Love took my hand, and smiling did reply Who made the eyes but I? Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them: let my shame Go where it doth deserve And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame? My dear, then I will serve You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat: So I did sit and eat
