| | | NO glory makes me glorious or glad, | |
| Nor pleasure may to pleasure me dispose, | |
| No comfort can revive my senses sad, | |
| Nor hope enfranchise me with one repose. | |
| Nor in her absence taste I one delight. | 5 |
| Nor in her presence am I well content; | |
| Was never time gave term to my despite, | |
| Nor joy that dried the tears of my lament. | |
| Nor hold I hope of weal in memory, | |
| Nor have I thought to change my restless grief, | 10 |
| Nor doth my conquest yield me sovereignty, | |
| Nor hope repose, nor confidence relief. | |
| For why? She sorts her frowns and favours so, | |
| As when I gain or lose I cannot know. | | | | |
