Wittes Pilgrimage | ||
(24)
[So, art thou (Cruell!) like a Ballance-Scale]
So, art thou (Cruell!) like a Ballance-ScaleFor, when I sinck with Bale, thou mount'st with Blisse;
And when I rise with Blisse, thou sink'st with Bale:
So, stil thou art myne Opposite by This
And whie all this? (o froward Faire!) ô whie
In myne annoy dost thou so much delight?
Can I not liue, but thou fourthwith must die?
Or doth my death giue thy life, life, and spright?
Ther's no necessity herein at all,
Vnlesse Thou be the same: Who, (Parchas-like)
Dost neuer rise, but by anothers fall:
That is, their Threede of life quite off to strike:
For while I waighe them wounded by thy Beames
Their number, rising, falls into Extreames!
