Alexander Craig
1567 - 1627
My wandring verse hath made thee known allwhare,
Thou known by them and they are known by mee:
Thou, they and I a true relation beare,
As but the one and other can not bee;
For if it chance by thy disdane I die,
My songs shal cease and thou be known no more.
Thus by experience thou mayst playnly see,
I them, thou mee, and they do thee decore.
Thou art that dame whom I shall ay adore
In spight of fortune and the frowning fates,
Whose shining beautie makes my songs to sore
in hyperbolik, loftie, heigh conceits:
Thou, they and I throughout the world be known;
They mine, thou theirs and last I am thine own.
