XVI. Ioye of my life

Ioye of my life that hath my loue in hould

Ioye of my life that hath my loue in hould, Ioy of my life, that hath my loue in hould, Vouchsafe to read these lines my hart doth send, and hauing read, some pittie, some pittie deere vnfould, To these sad abstracts, drawing to their end: drawing to their end: Let those sweet eies that stellafie, the light, Show equall power and dayefie my night. Let those sweet eies that stellafie the light, Show equall power, and dayefie my night.
