| XLIII. Madrigal |
| MY thoughts hold mortal strife; | |
| I do detest my life, | |
| And with lamenting cries | |
| Peace to my soul to bring | |
| Oft call that prince which here doth monarchize: | 5 |
| —But he, grim grinning King, | |
| Who caitiffs scorns, and doth the blest surprise, | |
| Late having deck'd with beauty's rose his tomb, | |
| Disdains to crop a weed, and will not come. | |
