[XXI. Madrigale. Life tell me]

Life tell me, what is the cause of each mans dying?

Life tell me, what is the cause of each mans dying? of Carefull griefe, mixt with crying. No, no, heart stay thee, or care of minde dismay thee, Let no such thought or care of minde dismay thee. Sweet hart content thee, I can but lament thee, Thy cares are so great, I can but lament thee. I can but lament thee.
