Madrigal

A daedal of my death,
Now I resemble that subtle worm on Earth,
Which, prone to its own evil, can take no rest;
For with strange thoughts possessed
I feed on fading leaves
Of hope, which me deceives,
And thousand webs doth warp within my breast.
And thus in end unto myself I weave
A fast-shut prison, no, but even a grave.

– William Drummond of Hawthornden (ca. 1614)
