XXXIV. [If when I die to hells eternall shade.]
If when I die to hells eternall shade
As ane idolater condemn'd I bee,
Because a mortall beutie that doth fade
I haue too long ador'd in creuell thee,
Think not to scape, for, for thy tyrannie,
Thou there shall be condemn'd as well as I.
As ane idolater condemn'd I bee,
Because a mortall beutie that doth fade
I haue too long ador'd in creuell thee,
Think not to scape, for, for thy tyrannie,
Thou there shall be condemn'd as well as I.
And for thy greater plague two hells shalt proue:
The one the trew, wherein thy self shalt be;
My hated lookes the other, pale with loue,
Shall seeme each day and howre new hell to the.
But I beholding thy bright shyning eyes
Shall heauen enjoy amidst hells miseries.
