[V. O griefe if yet my griefe be not beleeued]

O griefe if yet my griefe be not beleeued

O griefe if yet my griefe be not beleeued, O Griefe, if yet my griefe be not beleeued, crye with thy voyce out-stretched, that her dispightful hart & eares disdayning, may heare my iust complaining. And when thou hast her told my state most wretched, & when thou hast her told my state most wretched, tell her, that though my hart be thus tormented, I could be well contented, if she that now doth grieue me, had but the least desire, once to relieue me, had but the least desire, once to relieue me.
