O how | I faint | when I | of you | do write,
, ,
x , ,
Knowing | a bet|ter spirit | doth^use | your name,
, , , ,
,
And in | the praise | thereof | spends^all | his
might,
, , , ,
,
To make | me tongue|-tied speak/ing of | your
fame.
, , , , ,
But since | your worth | (wide as | the o|cean is)
, , , ,
,
The hum|ble as | the proud|est sail | doth bear,
, , , 2 , ,
My sau|cy bark |(infer|ior far | to his)
, , , ,
,
On your / broad main | doth wil|fully | appear.
, 2 , ,
, ,
Your shal|lowest help | will hold | me up |
afloat,
, , , ,
,
Whilst he | upon | your sound|less deep | doth^ride;
, , , ,
,
Or (be|ing wracked)| I am | a worth|less boat,
, , ,
, ,
He of | tall build/ing, and | of good|ly pride:
, , , ,
,
Then if | he thrive | and I | be cast | away,
, , , ,
,
The worst | was this,| my love | was my | decay.
