O coward life whose feare doth tie me in distasting sences, Infused part mount vp on hie, life gets on life offences, O flie immortall flie away, Be not immurde in finite clay, Where true loue doth with selfe loue fight, Begetting thoughts that doe affright, Courage faint heart, sound trumpet death, Ile find it wind with all my breath. O case of glasse, Confusions mase, A flouring grasse, Temple of treachery, Soule yoake to misery, Store-house of hell Farewell, farewell.
