<L>BReak heart and dye, I may no longer live,</L>
<L>T'enjoy this World nothing that I would give,</L>
<L>I live forlorn, all joys are from me fled,</L>
<L>I have lo&s;t my Love, alas, my heart is dead!</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Each thing on earth continueth with his Love,</L>
<L>The pritty Hidgeon and the Turtle dove;</L>
<L>And divers others in this World I know,</L>
<L>But my Love will not &s;eem to love me &s;o.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I little thought what true I now <UNCLEAR>do</UNCLEAR> find,</L>
<L>I did not dream my Love would prove unkind;</L>
<L>But 'tis no news, for many proves untrue,</L>
<L>And &s;o doth mine, for &s;he bids me adieu.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Seeing 'tis &s;o, i'll turn a Palmer poor,</L>
<L>And I will range abroad the World half o'er,</L>
<L>To &s;ee if I can find &s;ome di&s;mal cave.</L>
<L>There will I dwell, there will I d<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">g my grave.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>I will go travel to &s;ome new found Land,</L>
<L>To France to Spain and Turky out of hand;</L>
<L>Where unto Strangers there I will complain,</L>
<L>How that my Love hath me unkindly &s;lain.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>If I do land upon &s;ome new found &s;hore,</L>
<L>Whereas no M<GAP DESC="illegible" REASON="missing" EXTENT="1 letter">n did ever land before,</L>
<L>Then &s;hould I think my&s;elf in happy ca&s;e,</L>
<L>For my delight is in a &s;ilent place.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>There will I write my fill of my true Love;</L>
<L>Did I &s;ay true? what fancy did me move,</L>

<L>But now her &s;miles are turn'd to frowns and fire,</L>
<L>To kill my heart with woe is her de&s;ire.</L>

<LG>
<L>Bright Phebus beams are darkned in the skies,</L>
<L>When as the &s;torms of Boreas do ari&s;e;</L>
<L>But &s;he doth quickly &s;hine after the rain,</L>
<L>But my coy Mi&s;tre&s;s will not love again.</L>

<LG>
<L>I would I were now &s;in<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">ing in the Seas</L>
<L>In &s;ome frail ve&s;&s;el, if the Fates did plea&s;e:</L>
<L>Where neither love nor comfort could be found,</L>
<L>But every hour expecting to be drown'd.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>My &s;peeches all do but prolong my pain,</L>
<L>For I did never &s;ail the Ocean main;</L>
<L>Nor will I &s;uffer life in me to 'bide,</L>
<L>So long to wait the time of wind and tide.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Seeing 'tis &s;o, to the wilderne&s;s i'll hie,</L>
<L>Among&s;t wild bea&s;ts, where I intend to dye;</L>
<L>Where lyons tygers, bears, and panthers mourn,</L>
<L>With dragons, elephants and unicorn.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<L>Thus many wi&s;hes I have wi&s;ht in vain,</L>
<L>And none of the&s;e can ea&s;e me of my pain:</L>
<L>This piercing poniard now &s;hall end the <UNCLEAR>&s;trife</UNCLEAR>,</L>
<L>And kill my heart that loaths this mortal life.</L>

<L>This being &s;poken, forth His Love did ru&s;h,</L>
