[Whilst I did hazard, for vncertaine toyes]
Si ingratum dixeris omnia dixeris.
Whilst
I did hazard, for vncertaine toyes
Vaine flatt'ring hope, expeld my present feares:
O haplesse I, who for momentall joyes
Must pay long paine with sad repenting teares.
Vaine flatt'ring hope, expeld my present feares:
O haplesse I, who for momentall joyes
Must pay long paine with sad repenting teares.
This inward griefe my burthened soule now beares
With outward shew I striue to make it light:
But when the course of by-past time compeares,
And Tragick-like out-spreads before my sight.
Euen then I giue my rigours rage all right,
With passion strange, transported here and there,
I spend the day and wast the wearying night,
Imparting plaints vnto the idle aire.
O what remedie, time past hath no remorse,
Then must I needes endure this paine perforce.
