[Drowne me not you cruell teares]
Drowne
me not you cruell teares,
Which in sorrow witnes beares
Of my wailing,
And Loues failing.
Which in sorrow witnes beares
Of my wailing,
And Loues failing.

Flouds but couer, and retire
Washing faces of desire
Whose fresh growing
Springs by flowing.
Washing faces of desire
Whose fresh growing
Springs by flowing.
Meadowes euer yet did loue
Pleasant streames which by them moue:
But your falling
Claimes the calling
Pleasant streames which by them moue:
But your falling
Claimes the calling
Of a torrent curstly fierce
Past wits power to rehearse;
Only crying,
Or my dying
May in stead of verse or prose
My disasterous end disclose.
Past wits power to rehearse;
Only crying,
Or my dying
May in stead of verse or prose
My disasterous end disclose.
