The despairing Lover.
ELsewhere declareThy wosul care;And leave the skies:Thy wosul plaintsThy heart that taints,They do despise.
See, they look red,With rage o'respread,And horror too.'Tis they, in griefe,Without reliefe,That us undoo.
He is a sot,That thinketh notThat from that place,Through destiny,Most wretchedly,Comes our disgrace.
Then better 'tisFor death to wish,And end our daies,Then still in strife,Lead such a life,So plagu'd alwaies.
For death's our friend,When he doth endOur bitter smart;And through the same,Doth rid our paine,With his keen dart.
