Of one neere dead through thought.
Thought
is a secret that doth kill
And with the dead it selfe doth die
As with his ruine Sampson fill
Himselfe and all with him perdie,
And is not my poore case much nye,
Neere dead through Thought both Thought and I?
And with the dead it selfe doth die
As with his ruine Sampson fill
Himselfe and all with him perdie,
And is not my poore case much nye,
Neere dead through Thought both Thought and I?
I Thought no Thought could haue preuaild
Against my cheerefull minde,
But cross with crosse hath so assaild,
That now not so I finde:
For Thought is come and ioy is gone,
The body pines and death drawes on.
Against my cheerefull minde,
But cross with crosse hath so assaild,
That now not so I finde:
For Thought is come and ioy is gone,
The body pines and death drawes on.
