| | | MARVEL I do not, though thou dost not see | |
| My griefs and martyrs; which I still sustain. | |
| For thou, the Mole of Love dost seem to me; | |
| But if a Mole, th’ art only to my pain. | |
| How comes it then that, seeing thou art blind, | 5 |
| Thou me consum’st, as if thou had’st thy sight? | |
| Why, as thy nature by instinct doth bind, | |
| Stayest not below? Pack hence, and leave this light! | |
| Either those eyes still shut, not me to grieve; | |
| Or under ground, in darkness, always live! | 10 | | | |
