To LAIS.
ALlace that absence hath such force to foyll,And to procure my euer pearceing paine,Bereft of rest I tosse, I turne, I toyle,Halfe in dispaire that we may meet againe:Think on my vowes (& think they were not vaine)My countenance, and each thing els I pray,Which then I vs'd, when our goodnight was tane,My inward wrack and woe for to bewray:And when allone in clasped armes we lay,With interchange of manie soulesooke kisses:Thinke how we shed before the dawn of day,With miriads of vnaccomplisht wishes:Which with my selfe for lacke of presens pind,I recommend vnto thy vertuous mind.
Sic mecum fixis herebas nixa lacertis,Mutua cum placido trahebamus gaudia lusu.
