The greater that I feele my griefe to be,

The lesser able, am I to expresse it;

Such is the nature of extremitie,

The heart it som-thing eases, to confesse it.

Therefore Ile wake my muse, amidst her sleeping,

And what I want in wordes, supplie with weeping.

Weepe still mine eies, a Riuer full of Teares,

To drowne my Sorrowe in, that so molests me;

And rid my head of cares; my thoughts of feares:
