T'increase men's pains that there in darkness dwell!

For well I ween, above nor under ground,

A greater pain than that, may not be found.

My sweet Conceits of Pleasure and Delight,

To Erebus! and to Eternal Night!

My Sighs, my Tears, my Passions, and Laments,

Distrust, Despair; all these my hourly rents,

With other plagues that lovers' minds enthral:

Unto Oblivion, I bequeath them all!

My broken Bow, and Shafts, I give to Reason!
