Dost thou withdraw thy grace?

Dost thou withdraw thy grace
For that I should not love,
And think'st thou to remove
M' affections with thy face?

As if that love did hold no part
But where thy beauty lies,
And were not in my heart
Greater than in thy fair eyes?

Ah yes! 'tis more, more is desire
There, where it wounds and pines;
As fire is far more fire
Where it burns than where it shines.
