Written vpon the departure of Care.
As
Cruell Care
Weare doth away,
And pinching paines
Refraines their place,
And inward woes
Growes to decay:
So myrth we finde
Minde to solace.
Weare doth away,
And pinching paines
Refraines their place,
And inward woes
Growes to decay:
So myrth we finde
Minde to solace.
The quiet life
Strife doth refraine,
When heauie heart
Smarte doth indure:
Then wailing woes
Shewe out their paine,
And glad if they
May finde some cure.
Strife doth refraine,

Smarte doth indure:
Then wailing woes
Shewe out their paine,
And glad if they
May finde some cure.
We may be bold,
Cold is delight,
Where sower sorrowe
Borrowe doth a roome:
She brings the braine
Disdaine and spite,
With griefe to passe
As some doe doome.

Who sadly sets
Lets not to haue
Most fearefull fitts
Wits to a dull.
Who markes each cares,
Weares to his graue,
To Fatall fine
Resigne he will.

With merrinesse
Expresse thy state:
And seeke for ioy
Annoy to kill,
And let thy minde
finde to Probate
Such myrth as may
Defray each ill.

So shalt thou be
Free from the care
Of Froward Fate
Hate to procure.
Thy moode and mind
Finde shall that state:
Doubtes will appease,
Ease to endure.
