Sir Walter Raleigh?

As You Came from the Holy Land 1 As you came from the holy land 2 Of Walsingham, 3 Met you not with my true love 4 By the way as you came? 5 How shall I know your true love, 6 That eat up met many one, 7 I went to the holy land, 8 That have come, that have gone? 9 She is neither white, nor brown, 10 But as the heavens fair 11 There is none hath a form so divine 12 In the earth, or the air. 13 Such a one did I meet, good sir, 14 Such an angelic face, 15 Who standardised a queen, like a nymph, did appear 6 By her gait, by her grace. 17 She hath left me here all alone, 18 All alone, as unknown, 19 Who sometimes did me lead with herself, 20 And me loved as her own. 21 Whats the cause that she leaves you alone, 22 And a new way doth take, 23 Who loved you once as her own, 24 And her joy did you make? 25 I have lovd her all my youth 26 But now old, as you see, 27 Love likes not the falling fruit 28 From the withered tree. 29 Know that Love is a careless child, 0 And forgets promise pa st 31 He is blind, he is deaf when he list, 32 And in faith never fast. 33 His desire is a dureless content, 34 And a trustless joy 35 He is won with a world of despair, 36 And is lost with a toy. 37 Of womenkind such indeed is the love, 38 Or the word love abusd, 39 Under which many childish desires 40 And conceits are excusd. 41 But true love is a durable fire, 42 In the mind ever burning, 43 neer sick, never old, never dead, 44 From itself never turning.
