And there he stopt; as fearing to molest
The silent peace of her dissembled rest.
He gaz'd vpon her; stood as in a trance;
Sometimes her liuelesse hand he would aduance
To his sad lips; then steale it downe agen;
Sometimes, a teare would fall vpon't; and then
A sigh must dry it; Euery kisse did beare
A sigh; and euery sigh begat a teare:
He kist; she sigh'd; he wept; and, for a space,
He fixt his eye vpon her wounded face;
And, in a whispering language, he disburs'd
His various thoughts; thus, with himselfe, discours'd.
