[That hart wherein all sorrowes doth abound]
[1]
That hart wherein all sorrowes doth abound,
Lies in this breast, and cries alowd for death,
O blame not her when I am vnder ground,
That scorning wisht, t'outliue my panting breath,
O doe not her despise,
But let my death suffice,
To make all young men wise.

My louing hopes prolongd my lothed life,
Till that my life grew lothsome to my lou'd,
Then death and I were at no longer strife:
And I was glad my death her wish approu'd.
O let not her be shent,
Yet let my president,
Make womans harts relent.
