Lyes safe, how e'r his king be in danger:

So, though I languish, prest with Melancholy,

My verse, the strict Map of my misery,

Shall live to see that, for whose want I dye.

10Therefore I envie them, and doe repent,

That from unhappy mee, things happy'are sent;

Yet as a Picture, or bare Sacrament,

Accept these lines, and if in them there be

Merit of love, bestow that love on mee.
