Impossibilities to his friend.
MY faithful friend, if you can seeThe Fruit to grow up, or the Tree:If you can see the colour comeInto the blushing Peare, or Plum:If you can see the water growTo cakes of Ice, or flakes of Snow:If you can see, that drop of raineLost in the wild sea, once againe:If you can see, how Dreams do creepInto the Brain by easie sleep:Then there is hope that you may seeHer love me once, who now hates me.
