that I knew my hurt too late And that her beauty was my dying fate Love jealousie and envie held my sight So fixt on that faire face no other light I could behold like one who in the rage Of sicknesse greedily his thirst would swage With hurtfull drinke which doth his palat please Thus blinde and deaf t'all other joyes are ease So many doubtful wayes I followed her The memory still shakes my soul with feare Since when mine eyes are moist and view the ground My heart is heavie and my steps have found A solitary dwelling mongst the woods I stray ore rocks and fountains hils and floods Since when such store my scattered papers hold Of thoughts of tears of inke which oft I fold Unfold and teare Since when I know the scope Of Love and what they feare and what they hope And how they live that in his Cloyster dwell The skilfull in their face may reade it well Mean while I see how fierce and gallant she Cares not for me nor for my misery Proud of her vertue and my overthrow And on the other side if ought I know This Lord who hath the world in triumph led She keeps in feare thus all my hopes are dead No strength nor courage left nor can I be Reveng'd as I expected once for he Who tortures me and others is abused By her she 'le not be caught and long hath used Rebellious as she is to shun his vvarres And is a Sunne amidst the lesser starres Her grace smiles slights her words in order set Her haire disperst or in a golden net Her eyes enflaming with a light divine So burn my heart I dare no more repine Ah who is able fully to expresse Her pleasing wayes her merit no excesse No bold Hyperboles I need to feare My humble stile cannot enough come neare The truth my words are like a little stream Compar'd with th' Ocean so large a theame Is that high prayse new worth not seen before Is seen in her and can be seen no more Therefore all tongues are silenced and I Her prisoner now see her at liberty And night and day implore O unjust fate She neither heares nor pitties my estate Hard sawes of Love But though a partiall lot I plainly see in this yet must I not Refuse to serve the gods as well as men With like reward of old have felt like pain Now knovv I hovv the minde it selfe doth part Novv making peace novv vvarre novv truce vvhat art Poore Lovers use to hide their stinging vvoe And hovv their bloud novv comes and novv doth goe Betwixt their heart and cheeks by shame or feare How they be eloquent yet speechlesse are And how they both wayes leane they watch and sleep Languish to death yet life and vigor keep I trode the pathes made happy by her feet And search the foe I am afraid to meet I know how Lovers metamorphos'd are To that they love I know what tedious care I feele how vain my joy how oft I change Designe and countenance and which is strange I live without a soul I know the way To cheat my selfe a thousand times a day I know to follow whiles I flee my fire I freeze when present absent my desire Is hot I know what cruel rigour Love Practiseth on the minde and doth remove All reason thence and how he racks the heart And how a soul hath neither strength nor Art Without a helper to resist his blowes And how he flees and how his darts he throwes And how his threats the feareful Lover feels And hovv he robs by force and hovv he steales Hovv oft his vvheels turne round novv high novv lovv With hovv uncertain hope hovv certain
