 Thus whill they thinke there fortune frames at will 15

The Sunne his beames aboundantlie bestowes Upon the aire to make it cleare and still The sea so calme as scarcelie ebbs or flowes No messager of prison'd JEole blowes

Except a gaile with breathing to and fra 20

To stoppe the saile from rashing on the ray.

Then if a cloude the sonne of vapours grosse Eclipse the Sunne from there astonish'd sight There cause of joye becumes there cause of losse. For looke how soone they lacke there former light 25

In place of Phcebus cumes a darckned night And drumlie cloudes with rumbling thunders rearde Doe threaten mixing heavens with sea and earde.

O miserable wretches woulde they crie

Who setled trust on so unsetled grounde 3

Who woulde all other elements dene For that which onelie is unconstant founde Now were we happie, now into a stounde Are we ou'rladen with a hell of frayes Bot warre the rockes, soone cast her in the stayes. 35

heavenlie lampe Apollo bright and cleare What crime hath so incenst thy heavenlie ire For as thy presence made us heavenlie here Our light, our joye, our comfortable fire

Now loathe we that which most we did desire 4

Since by thy absence heaven in hell is 'changed And we as Divells in Plutoes court are ranged.

The like, 6 not the like bot like and more Doe we not one bot all in Court sustaine Since she who did our Princelie Court decore 45

Is 2 absent, absent doth allace remaine Whose comelie beautie graced 3 our Princelie traine

Orig., does. Orig., stain'd.
