[With twoo straunge fyers of equall heate possest]
With twoo straunge fyers of equall heate possest,
The one of Love, the other Jelosy,
Bothe still doo worcke, in neyther fynde I rest:
For, bothe, alas theyre strengthes together lye,
The one alofte dothe holde the other hye,
Love wakes the Jelous eye leste thence yt mooves,
The Jelous eye, the more yt lookes, yt loves
The one of Love, the other Jelosy,
Bothe still doo worcke, in neyther fynde I rest:
For, bothe, alas theyre strengthes together lye,
The one alofte dothe holde the other hye,
Love wakes the Jelous eye leste thence yt mooves,
The Jelous eye, the more yt lookes, yt loves
These fyers increase, in these I dayly burne,
They feede on mee, and with my wynges do flye,
My Lyvely Joyes to dolefull asshes turne,
Theyre flames mount up, my powers prostrate lye:
They live in force, I quyte consumed dye.
One wonder yet farr passeth my Conceipt?
The fewell smalle, howe bee the fyers so greate?
They feede on mee, and with my wynges do flye,
My Lyvely Joyes to dolefull asshes turne,
Theyre flames mount up, my powers prostrate lye:
They live in force, I quyte consumed dye.
One wonder yet farr passeth my Conceipt?
The fewell smalle, howe bee the fyers so greate?
