Care. Careful.
Swarmes of perplexing care buzze in his brain. A studious care boyld in his zealous mind. The theefe of youth and beauty, tempest of the soul. Perplexing and enaging cares That without years can snow down silver haires. The Chaos of the mind, the noyse, the tumult of the thoughts, Tempest of the troubled mind. Unquiet thoughts. The journey of the head. Millions of cares Beats on the anvile of my poor weak head. My heart's an anvile hammerd by my thoughts. My head's a crazie hive for swarmes of thoughts Which have more sting than honey. Care seeks out wrinkled browes and hollow eyes, And builds himself caves to abide in them, Swarmes of buzzing cares hive in his head.
