Pleasde with a thought that endeth with a sigh, Sometimes I smile when teares stand in my eyes, Yet then and there such sweet contentment lieth, Both when and where my sweet sower torment lies, O out alas, I cannot long endure it, And yet alasse I care not when I cure it.
3
But well away, me thinks I am not shee, That wonted was these fits as soule to scorne. One and the same, euen so I seeme to be, As lost I liue, yet of my selfe forlorne, What may this be that thus my mind doth moue, Alasse I feare, God shield it be not loue.
