Tormented heart in thrall, Yea thrall to loue,
Respecting will, Heart-breaking gaine doth grow,
Euer Dolobelia, Time so will proue,
Binding distresse, O gem wilt thou allowe,
This fortune my will Repose-lesse of ease,
Vnlesse thou Leda, Ouer-spread my heart,
Cutting all my ruth, dayne Disdaine to cease,
I yeilde to fate, and welcome endles Smart.
