Fortune My Foe |
| Fortune my Foe, why dost thou frown on me? |
| And will thy favours never better be? |
| Wilt thou, I say, for ever breed my pain? |
| And wilt thou not restore my joys again? |
| In vain I sigh, in vain I wail and weep; |
| In vain my eyes refrain from quiet sleep; |
| In vain I shed my tears both night and day; |
| In vain my love my sorrows to bewray. |
| Then will I place my love in Fortunes hands, |
| My dearest love, in most unconstant bands, |
| And only serve the sorrows due to me: |
| Sorrow, hereafter thou shalt my Mistress be. |
| Ah, silly Soul! |
| art thou so sore afraid? |
| Mourn not, my dear, nor be not so dismaid. |
| Fortune cannot, with all her power and skill, |
| Enforce my heart to think thee any ill. |
| Live thou in bliss, and banish death to Hell; |
| All careful thoughts see thou from thee expel: |
| As thou dost wish, thy love agrees to be. |
| For proof thereof, behold, I come to thee. |
