[IX. Sweet Loue when hope was flowring]
Sweet Loue when hope was flowringSweet Loue when hope was flowring, with fruites of recompence for my deseruing, for my deseruing, rest was the price of all my faithfull seruing Oh spiteful death accursed, Oh lyfe most cruell, the first by wrong doth paie me, and all my hope hath turned to lamenting, the last against my will hee doth detaine me, fayne would I find my Iuell, but death to spite me more, yet with a mild relenting, me thinkes within my hart her place she holdeth, & what my torment is plainely beholdeth, & what my tormēt is plainly beholdeth, plainely beholdeth, plainly beholdeth.
