A thousand times; I curse these idle rhymes,

Which do their Maker's follies vain set forth;

Alteri inserviens meipsum conficio.

Yet bless I them again, as many times,

For that in them, I blaze Alcilia's worth.

Meanwhile, I fare, as doth the torch by night,

Which wastes itself in giving others light.

LXI.

Enough of this! For all is nought regarded!

And She, not once, with my complaints is moved.
