A Sonnet.
[Step after step I followe death in sight]
Step
after step I followe death in sight
Through euery field, and hill and troden vale,
For euerie day my spirits he doth cite,
And warnes my selfe, to shrowde me in his vale.
O death, that once thou wouldst consume this light,
That still deducts my life in blisselesse bale:
Now that my hope hath past away so lgiht,
And ioies condemn'd to torments without bale.
Through euery field, and hill and troden vale,
For euerie day my spirits he doth cite,
And warnes my selfe, to shrowde me in his vale.
O death, that once thou wouldst consume this light,
That still deducts my life in blisselesse bale:
Now that my hope hath past away so lgiht,
And ioies condemn'd to torments without bale.
That Goddesse, whose continuall frownes I beare,
And loue, that all my ioies asunder teares,
And I my selfe, are foes vnto my hart:
She praying on me like a hungrie beare,
He chasing me like to the wounded Hart,
And I, that doe increase my bootelesse teares.
And loue, that all my ioies asunder teares,
And I my selfe, are foes vnto my hart:
She praying on me like a hungrie beare,
He chasing me like to the wounded Hart,
And I, that doe increase my bootelesse teares.
