First Line: I have a leaden, thou a shaft of gold
Last Line: And bring t'th' heart destruction both alike.


I have a leaden, thou a shaft of gold;
Thou kil'st with heate, and I strike dead with cold.
Let's trie of us who shall the first expire;
Or thou by frost, or I by quenchlesse fire:
Extreames are fatall, where they once doe strike,
And bring t'th' heart destruction both alike.
