This grief, nay rage, in me such sturre doth kepe,

And thornes me still, both when I wake and slepe.

Take Cæsar conquest, take my goods, take he

Th’onor to be Lord of the earth alone,

My Sonnes, my life bent headlong to mishapps:

No force, so not my Cleopatra take.

So foolish I, I can not her forget,

Though better were I banisht her my thought.

Like to the sicke, whose throte the feauers fire

Hath vehemently with thirstie drouth enflam’d,
