[LVII. The second part. Because my Loue too lofty and too dispightfull]

Because my Loue too lofty and too dispightfull

Because my Loue too lofty and too dispightfull, & too dispightfull, while I with sighes do sound her name delightfull, doth smyle when as the flame my lyfe depriueth: my life depriueth: if I seek to breake of, if I seeke to breake of the strings, the strings, that bynd me, the more I flye, the faster, I the faster, I do find me, like a byrd in the snare in vaine that striueth, in vaine that striueth, lyke a byrd in the snare in vaine that stryueth.
