| My love is as a fever, longing still
|
| For that which longer nurses the disease
|
| Feeding on that which does preserve the ill
|
| Uncertain sickly appetite to please
|
| My reason, the physician to my love
|
| Angry that his prescriptions are not kept
|
| Has left me, and I desperate now approve
|
| Desire is death, which physic did except
|
| Past cure I am, now reason is past care
|
| And frantic-mad with evermore unrest
|
| My thoughts and my discours as madmen’s are
|
| At random from the truth vainly xpressed
|
| For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright
|
| Who art as black as hell, as dark as night
|
| For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright
|
| Who art as black as hell, as dark as night |
