[Wofull hart with griefe oppressed]

Wofull hart with griefe oppressed,
Since my fortunes most distressed,
From my ioyes hath mee remoued,
Follow those sweet eies adored,
Those sweet eyes wherein are stored,
All my pleasures best beeloued.
Fly my breast, leaue mee forsaken,
Wherein Griefe his seate hath taken,
All his arrowes through mee darting,
Thou maist liue by hir Sunne-shining,
I shall suffer no more pining,
By thy losse, then by hir parting.
