But then begins a iourny in my head To worke my mind,when boddies work's expired. For then my thoughts(from far where I abide) Intend a zelous pilgrimage to thee, And keepe my drooping eye-lids open wide, Looking on darknes which the blind doe see. Saue that my soules imaginary sight Presents their shaddoe to my sightles view, Which like a iewel(hunge in gastly night) Makes blacke night beautious,and her old face new. Loe thus by day my lims,by night my mind, For thee,and for my selfe,noe quiet finde. |

When daies oppression is not eazd by night, But day by night and night by day oprest. And each(though enimes to ethers raigne) Doe in consent shake hands to torture me, The one by toyle,the other to complaine How far I toyle,still farther off from thee. I tell the Day to please him thou art bright, And do'st him grace when clouds doe blot the heauen: So flatter I the swart complexiond night, When sparkling stars twire not thou guil'st th' eauen. But day doth daily draw my sorrowes longer,(stronger And night doth nightly make greefes length seeme |
