or with angry frownes refuse to take them Or taking them the fires fewell make them Or with those hands made to a milder end These guiltlesse leaues all into peeces rend O Cruell Tyrant yet beloued still Wherein haue I deseru'de of you so ill That all my loue you should with hate requite And all my paines reward with such despight Or if my faulte be great which I protest Is only Loue too great to be exprest What haue these Lines so harmelesse innocent Deseru'd to feele their Masters punishment These Leaues are not vnto my fault consenting And therefore ought not haue the same tormenting When you haue read them vse them as you list For by your sight they shall be fully blist But till you reade them let the woes I haue This harmelesse Paper from your fury saue Cleere vp mine eyes drie your selues my Teares And thou my Harte bannish these deadly feares Perswade thy selfe that though her harte disdaine Either to loue thy loue or rue thy paine Yet her faire Eyes will not a booke denie To this sad Story of thy Miserie O then my Deere behold the Portraiture Of him that doth all kinde of woes endure Of him whose Head is made a Hiue of woes Whose swarming number dayly greater growes Of him whose Sences like a Racke are bent With diuerse motions my poore soule to rent Whose Minde a Mirrour is which only showes The ougly Image of my present woes Whose Memorie 's a poyson'd Knife to teare The euer-bleeding wound my Breast doth beare The euer-bleeding wound not to be cured But by those Eyes that first the same procured And that poore Harte so faithfull constant true That only loues and serues and honours you Is like a feeble Ship which torne and rent The Mast of Hope being broke and tackling spent Reason the Pilot dead the Starres obscured By which alone to saile it was enured No Porte no Land no Comfort once expected All hope of Safety vtterly neglected With dreadfull terror tumbling vp and downe Passions vncertaine waues with hideous sound Doth daily hourely minutely expect When either it should runne and so be wreckt Vpon Despaires sharpe Rocke or be o'rethrowne With Storme of your Disdaine so fiercely blowne But yet of al the woes that doe torment my hart Of all the Torments that do dayly rent my hart There 's none so great although I am assured That euen the least can not bee long endured As that so many weekes nay months nay yeares Nay tedious Ages for it so appeares My trembling Hart besides so many anguishes Twixt hope feare vncertaine howerly languishes Whether your hands your Eyes your Hart of stone Did take my lines and reade them and bemone With one kind word one sigh one pittying teare Th'unfained griefe which for your loue I beare Whether y'accepted that last Monument Of my deere Loue the Booke I meane I sent To your deare selfe when the respectlesse winde Bare me away leauing my hart behinde And daigne sometimes when you the same do view To thinke on him who alwayes thinks on you Or whether you as Oh I feare you doo Hate both my selfe and Giftes and Letters too I must confesse that when I do consither How ill alas how ill agree together So peerelesse beautie to so fierce a minde So hard an inside to so faire a rinde A Hart so bloody to so white a brest So proud disdaine with so milde lookes supprest And how my deere Oh would it had beene neuer Accursed word nay would it might be euer How once I say till your Hart was estranged Alas how soone my day to night was changed You did vouchsafe my poore Eyes so much grace Freely to viewe the Riches of your face And did so high exalte my lowly Hart To call it yours and take it in good part And which was greatest blisse did not disdaine For boundlesse loue to yeeld some loue againe When this I say I call vnto my minde And in my Harte and Soule no cause can finde No fact no word whereby my Hart hath merited Of your sweete loue to be thus disinherited Dispaire it selfe cannot make mee dispaire But that you 'le prooue as kinde as you are faire And that my lines booke O would t were true Are though I know 't not yet receiu'de by you And often haue your cruelty repented Whereby my guiltlesse Heart is so tormented And now at length in liew of passed woe Will pitty grace and loue and fauour shoe But when againe my cursed Memory To my sad thoughts confounded diuersly Presents the time the teare procuring time That wither'd my yong Ioyes before their prime The time when I with tedious absence tired With restlesse loue and rackt desire inspired Comming to finde my Earthly paradise To glasse my sight in your two heauenly Eyes On which alone my Earthly Ioyes depended And wanting which my ioy and life were ended From your sweete Rosie lippes the springs of blisse To draw the Nectar of a sweetest Kisse My greedy Eares on your sweete wordes to feede Which canded in your sweetest breath proceede In daintiest accents through that Currall dore Guarded with pretious Pearle and Rubies store To touch your Hand so white so moist so soft And with a rauisht kisse redoubled oft Reuenge with kindest spight the bloody theft Whereby it closely mee my Hart bereft And of all blisse to taste the Consummation In your sweete gracefull heauenly Conuersation By whose sweet charms the soules you do inchaunt Of all that doo your louely presence haunt In stead in all these Ioyes I did expect Found nought but frownes vnkindnes and neglect Neglect vnkindnes frownes nay plaine contempt And open Hate from no disdaine exempt No bitter words side lookes nor aught that might Engreeue encrease so vndeseru'd despight When this I say I thinke and thinke withall How nor those showers of Teares mine Eies let fall Nor winde of blustring Sighes with all their force Could moue your rocky Heart once to remorce Can I expect that letters should finde grace Or pitty euer in your harte haue place No no I thinke and sad Dispaire sayes for mee You hate disdaine and vtterly abhorre mee Alas my deere if this you doe deuise To try the virtue of your murthering Eyes And in the Glasse of bleeding harts to vew The glorious splendour of your Beauties hew Ah trie it trie it on rebellious sprights That doe withstand the power of sacred lights And make them feele if any such be found How deepe and curelesly your Eyes can wound But spare O spare my yeelding Hart and saue Him whose cheefe glory is to be your slaue Make mee the matter of your Clemencie And not the subiect of your Tyrannie ODE IIII. Being depriued of her sweete lookes wordes and gestures by his absence in Italie he desires her to write vnto him I. MY onely starre Why why are your deere Eyes Where all my life's peace lies With me at warre Why to my Ruine tending Do
