Verses vpon feare and Fury.
Feare
is a foe, as fury is a friend,
And selfe cōceipt is worker of much harme;
Disdainefull doubts, doe bring a man to end;
And careful cold doth neuer keepe mā warme.
Mistrustfull mindes haue euery houre care,
As much as they can well vprightly beare.
And selfe cōceipt is worker of much harme;
Disdainefull doubts, doe bring a man to end;
And careful cold doth neuer keepe mā warme.
Mistrustfull mindes haue euery houre care,
As much as they can well vprightly beare.
The quiet minde is neuer trobled much,
But tries to take each thing in sober sorte:
When froward fancy fretteth, and doth grutch
To see her selfe contemned in her sporte,
Well, vaine it is heere much for to reueale,
In close cōceipt I will the rest conceale.

22
Till Time doth serue, according to my minde,
And opportunitie to open my intent:
I see, yet seeme as though that I were blind,
I ioy likewise, when as I might lament,
I frame my selfe to vse such play and sporte,
Tis others doe, which to the place resorte.

Sighing is signe of sadnesse,
As myrth is shevve of gladnesse.
As myrth is shevve of gladnesse.
