75

[Beare part with me most straight and pleasant Tree]

Beare part with me most straight and pleasant Tree,
And imitate the Torments of my smart
Which cruell Loue doth send into my heart,
Keepe in thy skin this testament of me:

66

Which Loue ingrauen hath with miserie,
Cutting with griefe the vnresisting part,
Which would with pleasure soone haue learnd loues art,
But wounds still curelesse, must my rulers bee.
Thy sap doth weepingly bewray thy paine,
My heart-blood drops with stormes it doth sustaine,
Loue sencelesse, neither good nor mercy knowes
Pitiles I doe wound thee, while that I
Vnpitied, and vnthought on, wounded crie:
Then out-liue me, and testifie my woes.
