[This Cave ys Darcke, but yt had never Lighte]
This Cave ys Darcke, but yt had never Lighte,This waxe dothe waste yt self, yet payneles dyes,
These wordes are full of woes, yet, feele they none,
I darckened am, who once had clearest sighte,
I waste my harte, whiche still new Torment tryes,
I Playne with Cause, my woes are still myne owne,
No Cave, no wasting waxe, No wordes of greef,
Can holde, shewe, tell my paynes withoute Releef.
