How vnpossible it is to finde quiet in loue.

Page 36

EUer my hap is slack and slowe in comming Desire encreasyng ay my hope vncertaine: With doubtful loue that but increaseth pain For Tigre like so swift it is in parting. Alas the snow black shal it be and scalding, The sea waterles, and fishe vpon the mountaine: The Temis shal back retourne into his fountaine: And wher he rose the sunne shal take his lodging. Ere I in this finde peace or quietnesse. Or that loue or my lady rightwisely Leaue to conspire against me wrongfully. And if I haue after such bitternesse, One drop of swete, my mouth is out of taste: That al my trust and trauell is but waste.
