"Songes and Sonettes written by the ryght honorable
Lorde Henry Haward late Earle of Surrey, and other" | ||
What thing is that
Of the louers vnquiet state.
What thing is that which I bothe haue and lacke,With good will graunted yet it is denyed
How may I be receiued and put abacke
Alway doing and yet vnoccupied,
Most slow in that which I haue most applied,
Still thus to seke, and lese all that I winne,
And that was ready is newest to begyn.
In riches finde I wilfull pouertie,
In great pleasure liue I in heauinesse,
In much freedome I lacke my libertie,
T1v
Thus am I bothe in ioye and in distresse.
And in few wordes, if that I shall be plaine,
In Paradise I suffer all this paine.
