XV. GREIFE OF MINDE.

What plague is greater than the griefe of minde,
The griefe of minde that eates in euerie vaine,
In euerie vaine that leaues such clods behind,
Such clods behinde as breed such bitter paine,
So bitter paine that none shall eu er finde,
What Plague is greater than the griefe of minde.
