[XVI. Sadnesse sit downe]
Sadnesse sit downe, on my soule feedSadnesse sit downe, on my soule feed, Teare vp thoughts, tombe, a numbed heart, make wounds to speake, and scarres to bleede, On withered strings tune springing smart, on withered strings tune springing smart, And leaue this farwell for posteritie, Life is a death where sorrow cannot dye. And leaue this farwell, this farwell for posteritie, Life is a death where sorrow cannot dye.
