That with such poisoned eare my wits you marke,

That to each word, nay sigh of mine you harke,

As grudging me my sorrows eloquence?

Ah, is it not enough, that I am thence:

Thence, so farre thence, that scantly anie sparke

Of comfort dare come to this dungeon darke

Where rigorous exile lockes up al my sense:

But if I by a happie window passe,

If I but Starres uppon mine Armour beare,

Sicke, thirstie, glad (though but of empty glasse)
