Poet Analysis

First Line: I'M SICK OF LOVE; O LET ME LIE
Last Line: YOU SIGH FOR LOVE, AS WELL AS I.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;

I'm sick of Love; O let me lie
Under your shades, to sleep or die!
Either is welcome; so I have
Or here my Bed, or here my Grave.
Why do you sigh, and sob, and keep
Time with the tears, that I do weep?
Say, have ye sence, or do you prove
What Crucifixions are in Love?
I know ye do; and that's the why,
You sigh for Love, as well as I.
