Are we guilty fair mistress
for how we both do feel?
If that be the case, fair mistress
then let us try to steal
a few moments of pleasure,
though they be few.
A few kisses we treasure,
they’ll have to do.
For time is a-flying
and so is our life.
Farewell my fair mistress
For it’s back I go to my wife.
