Loves Losse.
Sweet Rose, faire flower, untimely pluckt, soone vaded,
Plukt in the bud, and vaded in the spring:
Bright Orient pearle, alacke too timely shaded,
Faire creature, kild too soone by Deaths sharpe sting:
  Like a greene plumbe that hangs upon a tree:
  And fals (through winde) before the fall should be.
I weepe for thee, and yet no cause I have,
For why; thou lefts me nothing in thy Will,
And yet thou lefts me more then I did crave,
For why: I craved nothing of thee still:
  O yes (deare friend) I pardon crave of thee,
  Thy discontent thou didst bequeath to me.
