| | | I WROTE vpon there sides to eke their plaining, | |
| If sad laments might multiply their sorrowe: | |
| My loues faire lookes and eke my loues disdaining, | |
| My loues coy lookes constraines me pine for woe. | |
| My loues disdaine which was her louers dolour: | 5 |
| My loues proud hart which my harts blisse did banish: | |
| My loues transparent beames and rosy colour, | |
| The pride of which did cause my ioyes to vanish. | |
| My loues bright shining beeautie like the starre, | |
| That early riseth fore for the sunnes appearance: | 10 |
| A guide vnto my thoughts that wandring arre, | |
| Doth force me breath abroad my woes indurance. | |
| O life forlorne, O loue vnkindly frowning, | |
| Thy eies my heart dispaire my sad hope drowning. | | | | |
