Sway Me Not
Pray, sway me not with
frivolous things that do not
pour from thine own heart.
Baubles, ribbons and candies
Say not of love, but desire
Give to me your love
So soft, poured within my ears
Words you dare not say
would sound as dear from a pig
If the swine held true his love
Possessions I have
They mean very little when
held against your pledge
So my sweet, a love so rare
may capture my heart and hand
