Festum Uoluptatis, Or the Banquet of Pleasure | ||
A Madrigall.
Coy
Celia, dost thou see
Yon hollow mountaine tottering o're the plaine,
o're which a fatall Tree
With treacherous shades betraies the sleeping Swaine?
Yon hollow mountaine tottering o're the plaine,
o're which a fatall Tree
With treacherous shades betraies the sleeping Swaine?
Beneath it is a Cell
As full of horrour, as my breast of care.
Ruine therein might dwell,
And fit a roome for guilt, and blacke despaire.
As full of horrour, as my breast of care.
Ruine therein might dwell,
And fit a roome for guilt, and blacke despaire.
There will I headlong throw
This wretched weight, this heape of miserie,
And in the dust below,
Bury my carcase, and the thought of thee.
This wretched weight, this heape of miserie,
And in the dust below,
Bury my carcase, and the thought of thee.
Which when I finisht have,
O, hate me dead as thou hast done alive,
And come not neere my grave,
Least I take heate from thee, and so revive.

And come not neere my grave,
