SONG XLVII.
I
Fire Fire,Loe! Here I burn in Such desire,
That all the Tears that I can strain
Out of my Empty Love sick brain,
Cannot asswage my scorching pain,
Come Humber, Trent, and silver Thames,
Dread Ocean hast with your Streams,
And if you cannot quench my Fire,
Drown both me and my desire.
II
Fire Fire,There is no help for my desire,
See how the Rivers backward fly,
The Ocean doth its Tides deny,
For fear my heart should drink them dry.
Come Heavenly showers, come powring down,
Come, you that once the World did drown,
And if you cannot quench my Fire,
O drown both me, and my desire.
