[In dolefull wayes I spend the wealth of my time]
In dolefull wayes I spend the wealth of my time:Feeding on my heart, that euer comes agen.
Since the ordinaunce, of the Destin's, hath ben,
To end of the Saissons, of my yeeres the prime.
With my Sōne, my Gold, my Nightingale, and Rose,
Is gone: for t'was in him and no other where:
And well though mine eies run downe like fountaines here,
The stone wil not speak yet, that doth it inclose.
And Destins, and Gods, you might rather haue tanne,
My twentie yeeres: then the two daies of my sonne.
That in his respect, it can yeeld me but mosse:
Or what should I consume any more in woe,
When Destins, Gods, and worlds, are all in my losse.
