LOVE NOT ME FOR COMELY GRACE
Love not me for comely grace,
For my pleasing eye or face;
Nor for any outward part,
No, nor for my constant heart:
For those may fail or turn to ill,
So thou and I shall sever.
Keep therefore a true woman's eye,
And love me still, but know not why;
So hast thou the same reason still
To dote upon me ever.
John Wilbye is believed to have been the most famous of all the composers of English madrigals. Some of his works often appear in modern collections.
