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.
