PASSION. III.
[Arcadi's Nimphs in mournfull sables drest]
Arcadi's Nimphs in mournfull sables drest
With plyant pipes sound dolefull musick note,
Bewayle your sheapheards fate, that thus opprest,
[OMITTED] increase of sorrowes set a floate:
[OMITTED] course doth scarce abide the tutch of time,
[OMITTED] wearied heart endur'd the bale-full chime.

[OMITTED] increase of sorrowes set a floate:
[OMITTED] course doth scarce abide the tutch of time,
[OMITTED] wearied heart endur'd the bale-full chime.
The sound of chime doth sound in lothed eares,
[OMITTED] could endure such cruell sound to heare,
Which doth encrease a heape of dreadfull feares,
Where to my soule darke horror doth appeare:
Long passed cares renewe againe their course,
Fates fatall chaunce doth change from bad to worse.

Long passed cares renewe againe their course,
Fates fatall chaunce doth change from bad to worse.
A happie man had I neu'r happie byn,
For fortunes smile did cause my greatest fall,
To purchase ease by newe encrease of sinne;
Were for to make my soule, my bodies thrall:
Hap then what may, let fortune frowne or smile,
[OMITTED] cruell scourge shall not my minde defile.

[OMITTED] shrines I fill with volumes of my griefe,
[OMITTED] I craue to quench the burning fier,
[OMITTED] brought to Cacas some reliefe;
[OMITTED] may reuiue my dead desier:
[OMITTED] hope by fortunes passed change,
[OMITTED] the dezarts wilde to range.
