To His Mistress Objecting to Him Neither Toying or Talking

inglés

You say I love not, 'cause I do not play

Still with your curls, and kiss the time away.

You blame me too, because I can't devise

Some sport to please those babies in your eyes:

By love's religion, I must here confess it,

The most I love when I the least express it.

Small griefs find tongues: full casks are ever found

To give (if any, yet) but little sound.

Deep waters noiseless are; and this we know,

That chiding streams betray small depth below.

So, when love speechless is, she doth express

A depth in love and that depth bottomless.

Now, since my love is tongueless, know me such

Who speak but little 'cause I love so much.
