Luca Cambiaso. Venus and Adonis, 1585.
Museo di Capodimonte, Naples.
The Third and Fourth Bookes of Ayres:
The Third Booke
II.
Now let her change and spare not:
Since she proues strange I care not:
Fain'd loue charm'd so my delight
That still I doted on her sight.
But she is gone, new ioies imbracing
And my desires disgracing.
When did I erre in blindnesse?
Or vexe her with vnkindnesse?
If my cares seru'd her alone,
Why is shee thus vntimely gone?
True loue abides to th' houre of dying:
False loue is euer flying.
False, then farewell for euer:
Once false proues faithful neuer:
Hee that boasts now of thy loue,
Shall soone my present fortunes proue.
Were he as faire as bright Adonis,
Faith is not had, where none is.
