The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania | ||
Song. 3.
Stay
my thoughts doe not aspire,
To vaine hopes of high desire;
See you not all meanes bereft,
To inioy no ioy is left,
Yet still me thinkes my thoughts doe say,
Some hopes doe liue amid dismay.
To vaine hopes of high desire;
See you not all meanes bereft,
To inioy no ioy is left,
Yet still me thinkes my thoughts doe say,
Some hopes doe liue amid dismay.
Hope then once more, Hope for ioy,
Bury feare which ioyes destroy,
Thought hath yet some comfort giuen,
Which despaire hath from vs driuen:
Therefore deerely my thoughts cherish,
Neuer let such thinking perish.
Bury feare which ioyes destroy,
Thought hath yet some comfort giuen,
Which despaire hath from vs driuen:
Therefore deerely my thoughts cherish,
Neuer let such thinking perish.
'Tis an idle thing to plaine,
Odder farre to dye for paine;
Thinke and see how thoughts doe rise,
Winning where there no hope lies;
Which alone is louers treasure,
For by thoughts we loue doe measure.
Odder farre to dye for paine;
Thinke and see how thoughts doe rise,
Winning where there no hope lies;
Which alone is louers treasure,
For by thoughts we loue doe measure.
Then kinde thought my fant'sie guide,
Let me neuer haplesse slide;
Still maintaine thy force in me,
Let me thinking still be free;
Nor leaue thy might vntill my death,
But let me thinking yeeld vp breath.
Let me neuer haplesse slide;
Still maintaine thy force in me,
Let me thinking still be free;
Nor leaue thy might vntill my death,
But let me thinking yeeld vp breath.
