[Dreames and Imaginations]
[1]
Dreames and ImaginationsAre all the recreations
Absence can gaine me dreames
When I wake, confound me,
Thoghts for her sake doth wound me
Least the disdaine me,
Then sinking let me lie,
Or thinking let me die,
Since loue hath slaine me.
2
Dreames are but coward and doe,Much good they dare not stand too,
Asham'd of the morrow,
Thoughts like a child that winketh,
Hee's not beguild that thinketh,
Hath peirst me thorow,
Both filling me with blisses,
Both killing me with kisses,
dying in sorrow.
3
Dreames with their false pretences,And thoughts confounds my senses,
In the conclusion,
Which like a glasse did shew mee,
What came to passe and threw mee,
Into conclusion,
Shee made mee leaue all other,
Yet had she got another,
This was abusion.
