A Poem.
LIke to an Hermit poore in place obscure.I meane to spende my dayes in endlesse doubt:To waile such woes as time cannot recure,Where none but loue shall euer finde me out.My foode shall be of care and sorrow made,My drinke nought else but teares falne from mine eyes,And for my light in such obscured shade,The flames shall scrue that from my heart arise.
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
A gowne of griefe my bodie shall attire,And broken hope the staffe of all my stay,Of late repentance linkt with long desire,The Couch is made whereon my bones to lay,And at my gate Dispaire shall linger still,To let in Death when Loue and Fortune will.
