The Works in Verse and Prose of Nicholas Breton | ||
The complaint of a forsaken Louer.
Let me goe seeke some solitarie place,
In craggie rocks where comfort is vnknowne:
Where I may sit and waile my heauie case,
And make the heauens acquainted with my mone,
In craggie rocks where comfort is vnknowne:
Where I may sit and waile my heauie case,
And make the heauens acquainted with my mone,
Where onêlie Eccho with her hallow voyce,
May sound the sorrow of my hidden sence:
And cruel chance the crosse of sweetest choyse,
Doth breed the paine of this experience.
May sound the sorrow of my hidden sence:
And cruel chance the crosse of sweetest choyse,
Doth breed the paine of this experience.
In mourning thoughts let me my minde attire,
And clad my care in weedes of deadlie woe:
And make disgrace the graue of my desire,
Which tooke his death whereby his life did growe:
And ere I die engraue vpon my tombe,
Take heede of Loue, for this is Louers doome.
And clad my care in weedes of deadlie woe:
And make disgrace the graue of my desire,
Which tooke his death whereby his life did growe:
And ere I die engraue vpon my tombe,
Take heede of Loue, for this is Louers doome.
