I can't eat or drink (how should I?) for sorrow,

And the lack of some usual treat,

And I surely should hang me, or marry tomorrow,

Were there not a few bawls in the street.

Hang! marry! said I, why I'm now drown'd in tears,

Who am wont in sham pain to lose real;

And could pull my own house down, about my own ears

For lack of amusements ideal;

But plays, concerts, shopping, Di'ramas so bright,

That enlarge the pent mind at a view,
