[XVII. Nay let mee weepe, though others teares be spent]

Nay let mee weepe, though others teares be spent,
Though all eyes dryed be, let mine be wet,
Vnto thy graue ile pay this yeerely rent,
Thy liuelesse Coarse demands of mee this debt,
I owe more teares then euer Coarse did craue,
Ile pay more teares then ere was payd to graue.
