The louers sorowfull state maketh him write sorowfull songes, but (Souche) his loue may change the same.

MAruell no more altho The songes, I sing do mone: For other life then wo, I neuer proued none. And in my hart also, Is grauen with letters d••••e A thousand sighes and mo: A flood of teares to wepe.

How may a man in smart Finde matter to reioyce? How may a moorning hart Set foorth a pleasant voyce. Play who so can that part: Nedes must in me appere: How fortune ourthwart Doth cause my moorning chere. Perdy there is no man, If he saw neuer sight: That perfitly tell can The nature of the ight. Alas: how should I than, That neuer taste but sowre: But do, as I began, Continually to lowre. But yet perchance some chance May chance to change my tune: And when (Souch) chance doth chance: Then shall I thank fortune. And if I haue (Souch) chance: Perchance ere it be ong: For (Souch) a pleasant chance. To sing some pleasant song.
