Oft thou hast
1
Oft thou hast with greedy eare,Drunke my notes and wordes of pleasure,
In affections equall measure,
Now my songs of sorrow heare.
Since from thee my griefes doe grow
Whome aliue I pris'd so deare:
The more my ioy, the more my woe.
2
Musicke though it sweetens paineYet no whit empaires lamenting:
But in passions like consenting
Makes them constant that complaine:
And enchantes their fancies so,
That all comforts they disdaine,
And flie from ioy to dwell with woe.
