32. [‘Perfection’ dead: Sidney.]
Poure downe poore eyes the teares of true distres,
Heare but oh heavnes, the horror of my crye;
Iudge of the care that can haue no redres,
Let mee not liue to see my louer dye;
In Sorrowes rules, like sorrow neuer redd,
Phillip, sweete knight, swete Philip Sydney dead.
Heare but oh heavnes, the horror of my crye;
Iudge of the care that can haue no redres,
Let mee not liue to see my louer dye;
In Sorrowes rules, like sorrow neuer redd,
Phillip, sweete knight, swete Philip Sydney dead.
Paine more then Arte or Nature can oppres
Hell to the world to loose a heavnly frende;
Ioy is become but sorrow and distres,
Lif with my loue, let death and dolor end;
In bitter teares hath harte of honor bledd,
Past hope of healpe, to see perfeccon dead.
Hell to the world to loose a heavnly frende;
Ioy is become but sorrow and distres,
Lif with my loue, let death and dolor end;
In bitter teares hath harte of honor bledd,
Past hope of healpe, to see perfeccon dead.
Finis.
