| TIRED with all these, for restful death I cry— | |
| As, to behold desert a beggar born, | |
| And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, | |
| And purest faith unhappily forsworn, | |
| |
| And gilded honour shamefully misplaced, | 5 |
| And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, | |
| And right perfection wrongfully disgraced, | |
| And strength by limping sway disabled, | |
| |
| And art made tongue-tied by authority, | |
| And folly, doctor-like, controlling skill, | 10 |
| And simple truth miscall'd simplicity, | |
| And captive Good attending captain Ill:— | |
| |
| —Tired with all these, from these would I be gone, | |
| Save that, to die, I leave my Love alone. | |
