[XXVI. I haue intreated and I haue complained]

I haue intreated, and I haue complained

I haue intreated, and I haue complained, I haue disprais'd, & praise I likewise gaue, All means to win her grace I tryed haue, And still I loue, and stil I am disdained, & still I am disdained, disdained, Oh, oh could my sighs, once purchase me reliefe, oh Or in her hart, my tears imprint my griefe, my teares imprint my griefe, imprint my griefe, But cease, cease, vaine sighs, cease, cease yee fruitlesse teares, Teares cannot pierce her hart, not pierce her hart, not nor sighes, nor sighes her eares.
