Canzon. 34.

[Since from the full feed of thy fauors lease]

Since from the full feed of thy fauors lease,
My thoughts (oh times accursed memorie)
Were forst (such shift alas did ill them please)
To crop on sedge sowre and vnsauorie:
Since from their sweet refresh all pined, they
Haue spent a lustre in sad widdowhood,
Since when sorrow to them hath seru'd in pay
Outlawes to hope, immur'd from euery good:
Since from thy brow the pompous gallerie,
Wherein were storiz'd to mine eye sweet obiects,
Embroydred all with rare immagerie,
Whose Iuorie floore enameld azure frets
Mine eye, oh woe the while hath bin sequestred,
My heart his griefe therefore in face hath registred.
