A Lover's Complaint
, ,
, T T T
x
From off | a hill | whose^con|cave womb
re|worded,
,
, , ,
2 ,
A plaint|ful sto|ry from | a sis|tering vale
x
2
, ,
, x
My spirits | to attend | this doub|le voice
| accorded,
,
, , .
T T T
And down | I laid | to list | the sad-tuned tale,
, ,
x T T T
Ere long | espied | a fickle | maid full pale
, ,
, ,
,
Tearing | of pap|ers, break|ing rings | a twain,
,
, ,
, ,
Storming | her world | with sor|rows, wind | and
rain.
, ,
, , ,
Upon | her head | a plat|ted hive | of straw,
, ,
, , ,
Which for|tified | her vis|age from | the sun,
,
, ,
, ,
Whereon | the thought | might^think | sometime |
it saw
, 2 ,
, , oo
The car|cass of beaut|y spent | and done, |
, T T T , ,
Time had | not scythed all | that youth | begun,
, T
T . T .
Tx T T
Nor youth | all quit; but spite | of heaven's
fell rage,
,
, , ,
,
Some^beaut|y peeped | through* lat|tice of /
seared age.
,
, ,
, ,
Oft did | she heave | her nap|kin to | her eyne,
, ,
, , ,
Which^on | it had | conceit|ed char|acters:
, 2
, , ,
,
Laundering | the silk|en fig|ures in | the brine,
,
, ,
, ,
That seas|oned woe | had pel|leted | in tears,
, ,
, , ,
And oft|en read|ing what / contents | it bears:
, ,
, , ,
As oft|en shriek|ing un|disting|uished woe,
,
, , T T . T
In clam|ors of / all size | both high and low.
,
, , , ,
*Sometimes | her lev|elled eyes | their car|riage
ride,
,
, 2 , , ,
As they | did bat|tery to | the spheres |
intend:
, , ,
, ,
*Sometime | divert|ed their / poor balls | are
tied,
2 , ,
, , ,
To the orb|ed earth;| *sometimes | they do |
extend,
,
, , , ,
Their view | right^on;| anon | their gaz|es lend,
, ,
, , ,
To eve|ry place | at once | and no|where* fixed,
,
, ,
, ,
The mind | and sight | distract|edly | commixed.
,
, ,
, ,
Her hair,| nor loose | nor tied | in form|al
plat,
,
, ,
, ,
Proclaimed | in her | a care|less hand | of pride;
,
, ,
, ,
For some,| untucked,| descend|ed her / sheaved
hat,
, ,
, , ,
Hanging | her pale | and pin|ed cheek | beside,
,
, ,
, ,
Some in | her thread|en fil|let still | did bide,
, , ,
, ,
And true | to bond|age would | not^break | from thence,
, , , , ,
Though slack|ly braid|ed in / loose neg|ligence.
, ,
, ,
,
A thous|and fav|ors from | a maund | she drew,
, ,
, , ,
Of am|ber, crys|tal, and | of bead|ed jet,
,
, , , ,
Which^one | by one | she in | a riv|er threw,
,
, , ,
,
Upon | whose^weep|ing mar|gent she | was set,
, , , , ,
Like us|ury,| apply|ing wet | to wet,
,
, ,
T Tx T
Or mon|arch's hands | that let | not bounty fall,
??
,
, ,
, ,
Where want | cries^some,| but where | excess |
begs^all.
, ,
, , 2 ,
Of fold|ed sched|ules had | she ma|ny a one,
, ,
T T . T ,
Which^she | perused,| sighed, tore, and gave |
the flood,
,
2 , , ,
,
Cracked *ma|ny a ring | of pos|ied gold | and bone,
??
,
, ,
, ,
Bidding | them find | their sep|ulchres | in
mud,
, ,
, , ,
Found^yet | more* let|ters sad|ly penned | in
blood,
,
, ,
, ,
With sleid|ed silk | feat and | affect|edly
, ,
, 2 , ,
Enswathed,| and sealed | to cur|ious sec|recy.
,
, ,
, ,
These^oft|en bathed | she in | her flux|ive eyes,
, ,
, , ,
And oft|en kissed,| and oft|en gave | to tear,
T T T T
T T 3 3 ,
Cried O false | blood thou reg|ister of lies,
, ,
, ,
,
What un|approv|ed wit|ness dost | thou bear!
,
, T
T . T ,
Ink would | have seemed | more black and
damn|ed here!
,
, , ,
,
This^said,| in top | of rage | the lines | she
rents,
, ,
, ,
,
Big dis|content | so break|ing their | contents.
, ,
, , ,
A reve|rend man | that grazed | his cat|tle nigh,
,
, 2 ,
, ,
Sometime | a blust|erer that | the ruf|fle knew
,
, , ,
,
Of court,| of cit|y, and | had let | go* by
,
, ,
, ,
The swift|est hours,| observ|ed as | they flew,
,
, ,
, ,
Towards this | afflic|ted fan|cy fast|ly drew:
, ,
, , ,
And priv|ileged | by age | desires | to know
, ,
, , ,
In brief | the grounds | and mot|ives of | her woe.
, ,
, , ,
So slides | he down | upon | his grain|ed bat;
, ,
, , ,
And come|ly dis|tant sits | he by | her side,
, ,
, , ,
When he | again | desires | her, be|ing sat,
,
, , ,
,
Her griev|ance with | his hear|ing to | divide:
,
, ,
, ,
If that | from him | there may | be aught |
applied
,
, 2 , ,
,
Which may | her suf|fering ecs|tasy | assuage
,
, , ,
,
Tis prom|ised in | the char|ity | of age.
,
, ,
, ,
Father | she says, though in | me you | behold
, ,
, , ,
The in|jury | of ma|ny a blast|ing hour;
, ,
, , ,
Let^it | not^tell | your judg|ment I | am old,
,
, , ,
x
Not^age,| but sor|row, ov|er me | hath power;
, ,
, ,
x
I might | as yet | have been | a spread|ing
flower
,
, ,
, ,
Fresh to | myself,| if I | had self-|applied
,
, . T T T ,
Love to | myself,| and to no love | beside.
,
, , ,
x
But woe | is me,| too^ear|ly I | attended
,
, , ,
,
A youth|ful suit | it was | to gain | my grace;
,
, ,
, x
Of one | by* na|ture's out|wards so | commended,
,
, ,
, ,
That maid|ens' eyes | stuck^ov|er all | his face,
T T . T , ,
,
Love lacked a dwel|ling and / made him | her
place,
, . T
T T
, ,
And when | in his fair parts | she did | abide,
, T
T . T
, ,
She was | new lodged and new|ly de|ified.
, ,
, , ,
His brown|y locks | did^hang | in crook|ed curls,
, ,
, , ,
And eve|ry light | occas|ion of | the wind
,
, ,
, ,
Upon | his lips | their silk|en par|cels
hurls,
,
, ,
, ,
What's^sweet | to do,| to do | will apt|ly find,
,
, ,
, ,
Each eye | that saw | him did | enchant | the
mind:
,
, ,
, ,
For on | his vis|age was | in lit|tle drawn,
,
, ,
, ,
What large|ness thinks | in Par|adise | was sawn.
T T . T
, , ,
Small show of man | was yet | upon | his chin,
,
, , ,
,
His phoe|nix down | began | but^to | appear
, , , , ,
Like^un|shorn vel/vet on | that term|less skin
, ,
, ,
,
Whose bare | out-bragged | the web | it seemed |
to wear.
,
, ,
, ,
Yet showed | his vis|age by | that cost | more*
dear,
, ,
, 2 , ,
And nice | affect|ions wav|ering stood | in doubt
, ,
, , ,
If best | were as | it was,| or best | without.
, ,
, 2 , ,
His qual|ities | were beaut|eous as | his form,
,
, ,
, ,
For maid|en-tongued | he was,| and there|of free;
. T T T ,
, ,
Yet^if men moved | him, was | he such | a storm
. T T T ,
, ,
As oft twixt May | and Ap|ril is | to see,
,
T
T Tx ,
,
When winds | breathe sweet, unru|ly though | they
be. ??
,
, 2 ,
, ,
His rude|ness so | with his auth|oriz|ed youth,
, ,
, , ,
Did live|ry false|ness in | a pride | of truth.
,
, ,
, ,
Well could | he ride,| and of|ten men | would say
,
, ,
, ,
That horse | his met|tle from | his rid|er takes
,
, , ,
,
Proud of | subjec|tion, nob|le by | the sway,
, ,
, , ,
What rounds,| what bounds,| what course,| what
stop | he makes
, ,
, , ,
And cont|rover|sy hence | a ques|tion takes,
, ,
, , ,
Whether | the horse | by him | became | his deed,
,
, 2 ,
, ,
Or he | his man|age, by the / well-do|ing steed.
, ,
, , ,
But quick|ly on | this^side | the ver|dict went,
, , T
T T
,
His real | habi|tude gave life | and grace
, ,
, , ,
To ap|pertain|ings and | to orn|ament,
,
, , , ,
Accomp|lished in | himself | not in | his case:
,
, , ,
,
All^aids | themselves | made fair/er by | their
place,
,
, ,
, ,
Came for | addit|ions, yet | their pur|posed trim
T T .
T , , ,
Pieced not his grace | but were / all graced |
by him.
, ,
, , ,
So^on | the tip | of his | subdu|ing tongue
T T . T , , ,
All kinds of arg|uments | and ques|tion deep,
, , ,
, ,
All rep|lica|tion prompt,| and reas|on strong
, ,
, , ,
For his | advant|age still | did wake | and
sleep,
, , , ,
,
To make | the weep|er laugh,| the laugh|er weep:
,
, , ,
2 ,
He had | the di|alect | and dif|ferent skill,
,
, ,
, ,
Catching | all pas|sions in | his craft | of
will.
, , , , ,
That he | did^in | the gene|ral bos|om reign
,
, ,
, x
Of young,| of old,| and sex|es both | enchanted,
,
, ,
, ,
To dwell | with him | in thoughts,| or to |
remain
, 2 ,
, 2 ,
x
In pers|onal du|ty, fol|lowing where | he
haunted,
,
, ,
,
x
Consents | bewitched,| ere^he | desire | have
granted,
, ,
, ,
,
And di|alogued | for him | what^he | would say,
, T T
. T
, ,
Asked their | own wills and made | their wills | obey.
, ,
, , ,
Many | there were | that did | his pic|ture get
, ,
, , ,
To serve | their^eyes,| and in | it put | their
mind,
T T T
3 3 , , ,
Like fools that | in the ima|gina|tion set
??

The good|ly ob|jects which | abroad | they find
,
, ,

Of lands | and man|sions, theirs | in thought |
assigned,

And lab|oring in / more pleas|ures to | bestow them, ??

T T T

Than the true | gouty | landlord which | doth owe
them. ??
, ,

So ma|ny have | that nev|er touched | his hand,

Sweetly | supposed | them mist|ress of | his
heart.

My woe|ful self | that did | in free|dom stand,

And was | my own | fee simple (not | in part)
T T . T ,

What with his art | in youth | and youth | in art

Threw my | affec|tions in | his charm|ed power,

Reserved | the stalk | and gave | him all | my
flower.

Yet did | I not | as some | my e|quals did

Demand | of him,| nor being | desir|ed yielded.

Finding | myself | in hon|or so | forbid,

With saf|est dis|tance I | mine hon|or shielded,

Exper|ience | for me | many bul|warks* builded

Of proofs new bleed|ing which | remained | the
foil

Of this false jewel,| and his | amor|ous spoil.

But ah | who ev|er shunned | by pre|cedent,

The des|tined ill | she must | herself | assay,

Or forced | examp|les, 'gainst | her own | content

T T T

To put | the by-past per|ils in | her way?
, 2 , , T T T
Counsel may | stop a|while what | will not
stay:
,
, ,
, ,
For when | we rage,| advice | is oft|en seen
,
, ,
, ,
By blunt|ing us | to make | our wits | more* keen.
,
, , ,
,
Nor gives | it sat|isfac|tion to | our blood,
, ,

That we | must curb | it up/on oth|ers' proof,
, ,

To be | forbod | the sweets | that seem | so*
good,

For fear | of harms | that preach | in our |
behoof;

O ap|petite | from judg|ment stand | aloof!

The one | a pal|ate hath | that needs | will
taste,

Though reas|on weep | and cry | it is | thy last.

For furth|er I | could say | This^man's | untrue,

And knew | the pat|terns of | his foul |
begui|ling,

Heard where his plants | in oth|ers' orch|ards
grew,

Saw how deceits | were gild|ed in | his

Knew* vows | were ev|er brok|ers to | defil|ing,

Thought characters | and words | merely | but art,

And long | upon these terms | I held | my

Have^of | my suf|fering youth | some feel|ing

And be | not of | my ho|ly vows | afraid,

That's^to | ye sworn | to none | was ev|er said,

For feasts | of love | I have | been called |
unto

Till now | did nere | invite | nor nev|er woo.
,

All my | offen|ses that | abroad | you see

Are er|rors of | the blood | none of | the mind:

Love^made | them not,| with ac|ture they | may
be, ??

Where neith|er part|y is | nor true | nor kind,

They sought | their shame | that so | their shame
| did find,

And so | much^less | of shame | in me | remains,

By how | much^of | me their | reproach |
contains,

Among | the ma|ny that | mine^eyes | have seen,

Not one | whose flame | my heart | so much | as
warmed,

Or my | affec|tion put | to the smal|lest teen,

Or an|y of | my leis|ures ev|er charmed,

Harm have | I done | to them | but nere | was
harmed;

Kept^hearts | in liv|eries, but | mine^own | was
free,

And reigned | command|ing in | his mon|archy.

Look^here | what trib|utes wound|ed fan|cies sent | me,

Figuring | that they | their pas|sions like|wise^lent | me
