How carefull was I when I tooke my way,
Each trifle under truest barres to thrust, That to my use it might unused stay From hands of falsehood, in sure wards of trust? But thou, to whom my jewels trifles are, Most worthy comfort, now my greatest griefe, Thou best of deerest, and mine onely care, Art left the prey of every vulgar theefe. Thee have I not lockt up in any chest, Save where thou art not, though I feele thou art, Within the gentle closure of my brest, From whence at pleasure thou maist come and part, And even thence thou wilt be stolne I feare, For truth prooves theevish for a prize so deare.
