| |
| |
| I HAVE on mine no likeness | |
| To your fairy queenlike face, | |
| No sign in all my body | |
| Of any of your grace. | |
| |
| I might have been a changeling, | 5 |
| As well have been a son, | |
| As to grow up your daughter | |
| And look like anyone. | |
| |
| But where your two breasts parted | |
| A small mark darkened you, | 10 |
| And over my heart’s beating | |
| I have the same scar too. | |
| |
| A little seal and golden, | |
| Whereby it shall be known | |
| That you have shaped and borne me | 15 |
And stamped me as your own!
