But if the heauens did his dayes enuie,
2 And my short blisse maligne, yet mote they well
Thus much afford me, ere that he did die
4 That the dim eyes of my deare Marinell
I mote haue closed, and him +bed+ farewell,
6 Sith other offices for mother meet
They would not graunt.
8 Yet maulgre them farewell, my sweetest sweet;
Farewell my sweetest sonne, +sith we no more shall+ meet.
