| I wish to fire the trees af all these forrest
|
| I give the Sunne a last farewell each evening
|
| I curse the fidling finders out of Musicke
|
| With envie i doo hate the loftie mountains
|
| And with despite despise the humble vallies
|
| I doo detest night, evening, day, and morning
|
| For she, whose parts maintainde a perfect musique
|
| Whose beawties shin’de more then the blushing morning
|
| Who much did passe in state the stately mountains
|
| In straightnes past the Cedars of the forest
|
| Hath cast me wretch into eternally evening
|
| By taking her two Sunnes from these darke vallies
|
| Curse to my selfe my prayers is, the morning
|
| My fire is more, then can be made with forrests
|
| My state more base, then are the basest vallies
|
| I wish no evenings more to see, each evening
|
| Shamed I hate my selfe in sight of mountaines
|
| And stoppe mine ears, lest I growe mad with Musicke
|
| For she, with whorm compar’d, the Alpes are vallies
|
| She, whose lest word brings from the spheares their musique
|
| At whose approach the Sunne rase in the evening
|
| Who, where she went, bare in her forhead morning
|
| Is gone, is gone from these our spolyed forrests
|
| Turning to desarts our best pastur’de mountaines |
