The amorose songes, sonets, and elegies: of M. Alexander Craige, Scoto-Britane

To LITHOCARDIA.

A Very World may well be seene in mee, My hot desires as flames of Fire do shine, My sighes are ayre, my teares the Ocean sea My steadfast fayth, the solid Earth, & syne, My hope my heauen, my thoughts are stars diuine My ielosie the very pangues of Hell, My sweete the Sainct, to whom I do propine For sacrifice my seruice and my sell. That hatefull Hagge, who neere my Dame doth dwell My riuall foe, my Loue the Sommer sweet, My Spring-time, my deserts which so excell: And my Dispaires, the Winter cold and weet. But (O allace) no Haruest can I see, Which spoyls my yeares, & maks me thus to die
