[XXIX. The second part. Thou bringst her home ful nye me]

Thou bringst her home ful nye me

Thou bringst her home ful nye me, while she so fast dyd flye me, while she so fast dyd flye me, by thy meanes I behold those eyes so shining, long time absented, that looke so myld appeased, thus is my griefe declyning, thou in thy dreames dost make desire well pleased, Sleepe, if thou be lyke death as thou art fayned, as thou art fayned, a happy lyfe by such a death were gayned, a happy lyfe by such a death were gayned, a happy lyfe by such a death were gained.
