[XIII. Alas, where is my Loue.]

Alas, where is my loue, wher is my sweeting

Alas, where is my loue, wher is my sweeting, That hath stolne awaie my hart, God send vs meeting, And all my weeping, But if my sight she fly, Till hartlesse I die, my greiued ghost, with shryks & dreadfull crying, Alwaies about her flying, shall murmur out cōplayning, To be reuengd of all her deep disdayning.
