1. Dear if you change I`ll never choose again.
Sweet if you shrink I`ll never think of love.
Fair if you fail I`ll judge all beauty vain.
Wise if too weak more wits i`ll never prove.
Dear Sweet Fair Wise change shrink nor be not weak
and on my faith my faith shall never break.

2. Earth with flow`rs shall sooner heaven adorn
Heav`n her bright stars through earth`s dim globe shall move
Fire heat shall lose and frost of flames be born
Air made to shine as black as hell shall prove
Earth Heaven Fire Air the world transform`d shall be
Ere I prove false to faith or strange to you.

The First Booke of Songs or Ayres (1597): ¹ 7 `Dear, if you change`,  (Dowland)
