Alack, my life forlorn!

Will’t ever chance I may once more regain

Th’estate whence sorry fortune hath me torn?

Certes, I know not, such a wish of fire

I carry in my thought

To find me where, alas! I was whilere.

O dear my treasure, thou my sole desire,

That holdst my heart distraught,

Tell it me, thou; for whom I know nor dare

To ask it otherwhere.
