I am not sick, and yet I am not sound;

I eat and sleep, and yet, methinks, I thrive not.

I sport and laugh, and yet my griefs abound;

I am not dead, and yet, methinks, I live not.

"What uncouth cause hath these strange passions bred,

To make at once, sick, sound, alive, and dead?"

VIII.

Something I want; but what, I cannot say.

O, now I know! It is myself I want!
