Eleg. 10.
[Then Stranger Prince, if thou neglected seem]
Then Stranger Prince, if thou neglected seem,And hast not entertainment to thy state,
Our loves yet therefore do not mis-esteem;
But lay the fault upon unhappy Fate.
Thou foundst us glad of thy arrivall here;
And saw'st him whom we lov'd (poore wretched Elves;)
Say? did'st thou e'er of one more worthy heare?
No, no, and therefore now we hate our selves.
We being then of such a Gem bereft,
Beare with our Passions; and since one is gone;
And thou must have the halfe of what is left;
Oh think on us for good when you are gone:
And as thou now dost beare one halfe of's name,
Help beare out griefe, and share thou all his Fame.
