[Divinest Cælia, send no more to aske]

Divinest Cælia, send no more to aske
How I in absence doe; your seruant may
Be freed of that vnnecessary Taske:
For you may knowe it by a shorter waye.
I was a shaddow when I went from you;
And shaddowes are from sicknes euer free.
My heart you kept (a sad one, though a true)
And nought but Memorie went home with me.
Looke in your brest, where now two hearts you haue,
And see if they agree together there:
If mine want ayde, be mercifull & save,
And seek not for me any other where:
Should my physitian question how I doe,
I cannot tell him, till I aske of you.
