[X. In darknesse let mee dwell]

In darknesse let mee dwell, The ground, shall sorrow be,
The roofe Dispaire to barre all cheerfull light from mee,
The wals of marble blacke that moistned still shall weepe,
My musicke hellish iarring sounds to banish friendly sleepe.
Thus wedded to my woes, And bedded to my Tombe,
O Let me liuing die, till death doe come.
