Erst, Daphne did become a barren tree Because she was not half so wise as chaste ; And all the fairest things do soonest fade, Which O, I fear, " thou with repentance try ; The roses blasted are, the lilies die, And all do languish in the summer's shade. Yet will I grieve to see those flowers fall down Which for my temples should have framed a crown.
90 SIR WILLIAM ALEXANDER.
DEFECT OF LOVE.
Small comfort might my banished hopes recall, When whiles my dainty fair I sighing see, If I could think... that one were shed for me It were a guerdon great enough for all ; Or would she let one tear of pity fall, That seemed dismissed from a remorseful eye, I should content myself ungrieved to die, And nothing might my constancy appall.
The only sound of that sweet word of love, Pressed 'twixt those lips that do my doom contain, Were I embarked might bring me back again From death to life, and make me breathe and move.
Strange cruelty, that never can afford So much as once one sigh, one tear, one word.
