Let Pain With Me Remain

Whence I dost stand I mayst herein remain
But if I move not thou wilt move away
So chose I didst to walk thou I might wane
By steps, old self be gone still love pure stays.

From a stone I hast impaired mine to see
Same as thy eyes that sight I canst deceive
Since none of these views are better than thee
Confine me blind to what I dost believe.

For I love thee thus pain I mainly urge
To mirror lost profit numbers made worse
And prepare ere sweetness in ripe diverge
Thence defects as fulfilled my will needs nurse.

The worth of all these lies on love's contain
If thy cause then let pain with me remain.
