Long have I longed to see my love again,
Still have I wished, but never could obtain it,
Rather than all the world (if I might gain it)
Would I desire my love's sweet precious gain.
Yet in my soul I see him every day,
See him, and see his still-stern countenance,
But (ah) what is of long continuance,
Where majesty and beauty bears the sway?
Sometimes when I imagine that I see him
(As love is full of foolish fantasies)
Weening to kiss his lips, as my love's fees,
I feel but air, nothing but air to be him.
Thus with Ixion, kiss I clouds in vain,
Thus with Ixion, feel I endless pain.
– Richard Barnfield (1595)
