Morpheus had possest mine eies
With sleep, and unconfined thought
Did stray, it to my fancy brought
The Image I so highly prize.
With sleep, and unconfined thought
Did stray, it to my fancy brought
The Image I so highly prize.
Sometimes I seem to see my dear
Tempted with a golden shower,
And yet so constant that their power,
Cannot change the mind of her.
Tempted with a golden shower,
And yet so constant that their power,
Cannot change the mind of her.
Another time unto my greif
I think I see her for to yeild,
And almost give up the feild
Destitute of my Releif.
I think I see her for to yeild,
And almost give up the feild
Destitute of my Releif.
Then do I see (but grive to see)
A Rivall doth my place possess
And hath all the happiness
Which was onely due to me.
A Rivall doth my place possess
And hath all the happiness
Which was onely due to me.

Yet at last if not deceived,
Amorea is unmoved,
No one but my self she loved,
Waking then my joyes bereaved.
Amorea is unmoved,
No one but my self she loved,
Waking then my joyes bereaved.
