| | | WHERE may I now my carefull corps conuay, | |
| From company the worker of my woe: | |
| How may I winke or hide mine eies alwaies, | |
| VVhich gase on that whereof my griefe doth growe, | |
| How shall I seeme my sighes for to suppresse, | 5 |
| VVhich helpe the hart which else would swelt in sunder, | |
| VVhich hurts the helpe that makes my torment lesse: | |
| VVhich helps and hurts, O woefull wearie wonder, | |
| How now, but thus in solitarie wise: | |
| To step aside and make hie waie to moane, | 10 |
| To make two fountaines of my dasled eies, | |
| To sigh my fill till breath and all be gone. | |
| To die in sorrow and in woe repent me, | |
| That loue at last would though too late lament me. | | | | |
