Cruels't a fellow in your wretchednesse | B |
Or that you take some small ease in your owne | C |
Torments to heare another sadly groane | C |
I were most happy in my paines to be | D |
So truely blest to be so curst by thee | D |
But oh my cries to that doe rather adde | E |
Of which too much already thou hast had | E |
And thou art gladly sad to heare my moane | C |
Yet sadly hearst me with derision | C |
- | |
Thou most unjust that really dust know | C |
And feelst thyselfe the flames I burne in Oh | C |
How can you beg to be set loose from that | E |
Consuming stake you binde another at | E |

Uncharitablest both wayes to denie | C |
That pity me for which yourself must dye | F |

But I am chang'd Bright reason that did give | H |
My soule a noble quicknes made me live | I |
One breath yet longer and to will and see | D |
Hath reacht me pow'r to scorne as well as thee | D |
That thou which proudly tramplest on my grave | J |
Thyselfe mightst fall conquer'd my double slave | J |
That thou mightst sinking in thy triumphs moan | C |
And I triumph in my destruction | C |
- | |
Hayle holy cold chaste temper hayle the fire | K |
Rav'd o're my purer thoughts I feel t' expire | L |
And I am candied ice Yee pow'rs if e're | M |
I shall be forc't unto my sepulcher | M |
Or violently hurl'd into my urne | C |
Oh make me choose rather to freeze than burne | C |
