1 Tir'd with all these, for restful death I cry, 2 As, to behold desert a beggar born, 3 And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity, 4 And purest faith unhappily forsworn, 5 And guilded honour shamefully misplac'd, 6 And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted, 7 And right perfection wrongfully disgrac'd, 8 And strength by limping sway disabled, 9 And art made tongue-tied by authority, 10 And folly doctor-like controlling skill, 11 And simple truth miscall'd simplicity, 12 And captive good attending captain ill: 13 Tired with all these, from these would I be gone, 14 Save that, to die, I leave my love alone. |
