Canst thou haue eares, & wil not heare my plaintCanst thou haue eies, & wil not wipe my tearesHast thou a heart, and feeles not how I faint,Debating twixt dispairing hops and feares?Canst thou not see those sad and ciuill weairsWhich are within the kingdome of my heart,Where Legions of persuing pangs appeairs,My vtter wrake and ruine to impart?Heere burns the fire, there sticks the deadly dart:Here teares me droun, there smoky sighs me smoreHere Beauty wounds, there riuals runs athwart,And ielous eyes do pry into each pore:When al these al and thou my wrack contriues,I can not last, and I had twentie liues.
Perfida sed duris genuit te montibus horrens,Cantasus, hircane{que} admorunt vbera tigr••s.
