[VII. Tis but a frowne]

Tis but a frowne

Tis but a frowne, I prethee, prethee let me dye, on bended brow Concludes my Tragedie, for all my loue I craue but this of thee, thou wilt not bee to long in killing mee, If that you loue not what auailes your smiles, you onely warme a ball of Snow the whilst, which whilst it gathers comfort from your eyes, with that same comfort melts away dies, with that same comfort melts away and dyes, Thus in the ende your smiles your frownes are one. And differ but in execution, and differs differs but in execution.
