The description of his lothsom life, to his friende.
Like as the wofull wight, in Irons colde doth lie,And hopes at Sise to be releast, is then condemde to die:
Euen so alas my lot, as contrarie doth fall,
As his who lookt for suger sweet, and founde most bitter gaule,
7
To Sisiphus that neuer sleapes, or els to Tistius care,
For after sturdie stormes, when calme I thinke to finde,
More rougher rage a new doth rise, to gripe my greeued minde,
And when my carefull case, by meanes I seeke to cure,
Most deepist dinte of inwarde wo alas I doo endure.
The cause of this my grief yet will I closly keepe,
And secretly my sorowes suppe when others sounde do sleape.
Finis.
