[XXII. In chains of hope & fear.]

In chaynes of hope & feare, singing & crying

In chaynes of hope & feare, singing & crying, I clyme & fall: I liue, but euer dying: O tyrant Loue, ô come at once & slay me, That flying hence down where Charons boat doth stay me, Whose prowd aspiring hart doth but delaie me, I may dance in Elysium, the paines of Loue, there resounding with ioy, and the deep wounding.
