 | Argalvs and Parthenia |  |
Most noble Lady, if my words (said he)
Suit not your expectation, let them be
Imputed to the miserie of my state,
Which makes my lips to speake they know not what;
Mistake not him, that onely studies how,
VVith most aduantage still to honour you.
Alas! what ioyes I euer did receiue
From fortune's buried in Parthenia's graue,
VVith whom, ere long (nor are my hopes in vaine)
I hope to meet, and neuer part againe.
Suit not your expectation, let them be
Imputed to the miserie of my state,
Which makes my lips to speake they know not what;
Mistake not him, that onely studies how,
VVith most aduantage still to honour you.
