Stress’d wandring I, am forc’d to drinke my pisse:

So turnes my food to smoake, the smoake to ashes

Which twice a night, we three do spend in flashes:

Last casts my face the skin, my skin the colour,

And spewing forth fled joyes, I drinke in dolour.

Thus with the Torrid Zone, am I opprest,

And lock’d twixt Tropickes two, which me invest.

Where for reliefe, I pierc’d the Heavens with cryes,

And cut the Clouds, to grieve the azure skies

With sighs and grones; yet carefull to regard
