Description of the contra∣rious passions in a louer.

Page 22

I flye aloft, yet can I not arise: And nought I haue, and all the world I season. That lockes not loseth, holdeth me in prison, And holdes me not, yet can I scape no wise: Nor lettes me liue, nor dye, at my deuise, And yet of death it geueth me occasion. Without eye I se, without tong I playne: I wish to perish, yet I aske for helth: I loue another, and I hate my selfe. I fede me in sorow, and laugh in all my paine. Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life. And my delight is causer of this strife.
