LIX.
I burne by hope, I freise agayne by feare;I fredome searche, yet spoyles me of the same;
I peace embrace, from rest I doe reteire;
I am In hel, and yet the heavens I clayme;
I see far off, yet vayles to eyes I frame;
as I me yeild, so bakward I withdrawe;
I her extoll quhome I agane doe blame,
and puft with pryde I prostrat me more lawe;
yea, dombe I crye, and smyling sadnes schawe;
I walk with light, and taks a blynd for guyde;
yea, not attentiue, I bothe heare and knawe;
the more I crave, the more I am denyde:
thus love me binds and drawes by double rope,
and maks me fondlye perrish be my hope.
