OVer the Mountaines and under the Waves, Over the Fountaines and under the Graves: Over Rockes which are the steepest, which doe Neptune obey, Over floods which are the deepest, Love will find out the way. Where there is no place for the Glow-worme to lye, Where there is no space for the receit of a flye, Where the Gnat she dares not venter, lest her selfe fast she lay, But if Love come hee will enter, and will find out the way. You may esteeme him a child by his force, Or you may deeme him, a Coward which is worse: But if hee whom Love doth honour, be conceald from the day, Set a thousand guards upon him, Love will find out the way. Some thinke to lose him which is too unkind, And some doe suppose him poore heart to be blinde:
If that he were hidden, doe the best that you may, Blind Love, if so you call him, will find out the way. Well may the Eagle stoope downe to the fist, Or you may inveagle the Phenix of the East, With feare the Tigerss moved, to give over his prey, But never stop a Lover, he will poast on his way. From Dover to Barwicke, and Nations thoroughout, Brave Guy of Warwicke, that Champion so stout, With his War-like behaviour, Through the world he did stray To win his Phillis favour, Love will finde out the way. In order next enters, Bevis so brave, After adventures, and policie grave, To see whom he desired, his Josian so gay, For whom his heart was fired, Love found out the way.

THe Gordian knot, which true lovers knit, Undoe you cannot, nor yet breake it: Make use of your inventions, their fancies to betray. To frustrate your intentions, Love will finde out the way. From Court to the Cottage, in Bower and in Hall, From the King unto the Beggar, Love conquers all: Though nere so stout and Lordly, strive doe what you may, Yet be you nere so hardy, Love will finde out the way. Love hath power over Princes, and greatest Emperour, In any Provinces, such is Loves power, There is no resisting, but him to obey, In spight of all contesting, Love will finde out the way. If that hee were hidden and all men that are,
Were strictly forbidden, that place to declare: Winds that have no abidings, pittying their delay, Will come and bring him tidings, and direct him the way. If the earth should part him, he would gallop it ore, If the Seas should orethwart him, he would swim to the shore: Should his love become a Swallow, through the ayre to stray, Love would lend wings to follow, and will finde out the way. There is no striving to crosse his intent, There is no contriving, his plots to prevent: But if once the message greet him, that his true Love doth stay, If death should come and meet him, Love will finde out the way.
