Fromm howrr to howrr I oftt beweepe ourr love,

Wyth all the happie sorowe of the dove,

And fancie, as itts sylentt waterrs flowe,

Mie bosome's swetestt joies mustt thos bee mientt[14] wyth woe.

Or starrs thatt shoote beneathe theyr feeble lyghtt,

And eke as crymson as the mornyng's rode,[15]

The lornlie[16] payre inn dumbe dystracyon stoode

Whann onn the banke Matylda sonke and dyed,

And Alfrede plong'dd hys daggerr inn hys syde:
