The louer blameth his loue for renting of the letter he sent her.
SUffised not (madame) that you did teare,
My woful hart, but thus also to rent:
The weping paper that to you I sent.
Wherof eche letter was written with a teare.
Could not my present paines•• alas suffise.
Your gredy hart? and that my hart doth fele,
Tormentes that prick more sharper thē the stele,
But new and new must to my lot arise.
Use then my death. So shall your cruelty:
Spite of your spite rid me from all my smart,
And I no more such tormentes of the hart:
Fele as I do. This shall you gain thereby.
