A Ladies complaint for the losse of her Loue.
COme follow me you Nymphes,Whose eyes are neuer drie,Augment your wayling number noweWith me poore Em••lie.
Giue place ye to my plaintes,Whose ioyes a•••• pincht with paine▪M•• loue, alas through foule mish••p,Most cruell death ha••h slaine,
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
What wight can wel, alas,my sorrowes no•• indite?I waile & want my new desireI lack my new delite,
Gush out my trickling teares,Like mighty floods of raine,My Knight ••las, through foule mishapMost cruell death hath ••laine▪
Oh hap alas most hard,Oh death why didst thou so?W••y could not I embrace my ioy,for me that bid ••uch woe?
False Fortunu out, alas,Woe worth thy subtill tr••ine,W••ereby my loue through foule mishap,Most cruell death hath slaine.
Rock me a sleepe in woe,You wofull Sisters three,Oh cut you off my fatall threed,Dispatch poore Emelie.
Why should I liue, alas,And linger thus in paine?Farewell my life, sith that my loueMost cruell death hath slaine.
Finis.
