Contents
pt. I. Unquiet thoughts. Who ever thinks or hopes of love for love. My thoughts are winged with hopes. If my complaints could passions move. Can she excuse my wrongs with virtues cloak? Now, now I needs must part. Dear, if you change I'll never choose again. Burst forth, my tears. Go, crystal tears. Think'st thou then by thy feigning. - pt. II. Come away, come, sweet love! Rest awhile, you cruel cares. Sleep, wayward thoughts. All ye, whom love or fortune. Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me? Would my conceit. Come again! sweet love doth now invite. His golden locks. Awake, sweet love. thou art returned. Come, heavy sleep. Away with these self-loving lads
