Mie venture al venir son tarde e pigreA
-
FEW ARE THE SWEETS BUT MANY THE BITTERS OF LOVEB
-
-
Ever my hap is slack and slow in comingC
Desire increasing ay my hope uncertainD
With doubtful love that but increaseth painE
For tiger like so swift it is in partingC
Alas the snow black shall it be and scaldingC
The sea waterless and fish upon the mountainD
The Thames shall back return into his fountainD
And where he rose the sun shall take his lodgingC
Ere I in this find peace or quietnessF
Or that Love or my Lady right wiselyG
Leave to conspire against me wrongfullyG
And if I have after such bitternessF
One drop of sweet my mouth is out of tasteH
That all my trust and travail is but wasteH

Late to arrive my fortunes are and slowJ
Hopes are unsure desires ascend and swellK
Suspense expectancy in me rebelL
But swifter to depart than tigers goJ
Tepid and dark shall be the cold pure snowJ
The ocean dry its fish on mountains dwellK
The sun set in the East by that old wellK
Alike whence Tigris and Euphrates flowJ
Ere in this strife I peace or truce shall findM
Ere Love or Laura practise kinder waysN
Sworn friends against me wrongfully combinedM
After such bitters if some sweet allaysN
Balk'd by long fasts my palate spurns the fareA
Sole grace from them that falleth to my shareA
