HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 39 by WILLIAM BOSWORTH

First Line: BUT I HAVE NONE, NOR NEVER MUST HAVE ANY
Last Line: RELEAST, AND I SHALL HEAR THEE SPEAK AGAIN.

But I have none, nor never must have any,
Unless thy eyes do shine upon my face;
Amongst thy noble virtues, which are many,
O let this favour thy poor servant grace;
Since thou disdainest to bestow thy heart
On me so far dejected, so unworthy,
Tell me what cause it is, and 'twill impart
Ease to those daily pains I suffer for thee;
So shall my soul be quiet, so my pain
Releast, and I shall hear thee speak again.
