Woefull heart with grief oppressed,

Since my fortune most distressed
From my joyes hath me removed,
Follow these sweet eyes adored!
Those sweet eyes wherein are stored
All my pleasures best beloved.
Fly my breast - leave me forsaken Wherein griefe his seat hath taken,
All his arrows through me darting!
Thou mayst live by her sunshining:
I shall suer no more pining
By thy loss than by her parting.
