When she had (as long as her impatient desires would permit her) beheld the chast Goddesse, she went to her bed againe, taking a little Cabinet with her, wherein she had many papers, and setting a light by her, she took pen and paper, and being excellent in writing, writ these verses following:
Heart drops distilling like a new-cut vine
Weepe for the paines that doe my soule oppresse,
Eyes doe no lesse
For if you weepe not, be not mine,
Silly woes that cannot twine
An equall griefe in such excesse.
You first in sorrow did begin the act,
You saw and were the instruments of woe,
To let me know
That parting would procure the fact
Wherewith young hopes in bud are wrackt,
Yet deerer eyes the rock must show.
Which never weepe, but killingly disclose
Plagues, famine, murder in the fullest store,
But threaten more.
This knowledge cloyes my brest with woes
T'avoid offence my heart still chose
Yet faild, and pity doth implore.
When reading them over againe; "Fie passion," said she, "how foolish canst thou make us? and when with much paine and businesse thou hast gain'd us, how dost thou then dispose us unto folly, making our choicest wits testimonies to our faces of our weakenesses, and, as at this time, dost bring my owne hands to witnesse against me, unblushingly showing my idleness to mee."
