[What cruell star or fate had domination]
What cruell star or fate had dominationWhen I was borne, that thus my loue is crossed?
Or from what Planet had I deriuation
That thus my life in seas of woe is tossed?
Doth any liue that euer had such hap
That all their actions are of none effect?
Whom fortune neuer dandled in hir lap
But as an abiect still doth me reiect,
Ah fickle dame, and yet thou constant art
My daily griefe and anguish to increase,
And to augment the troubles of my hart
Thou of these bonds wilt neuer me release.
So that thy darlings me to be may know,
The true Idea of all worldly woe.
