An Eccho - William Alexander


Ah, will no soule giue eare vnto my mone? —
one

Who answers thus so kindly when I crie? —
I

What fostred thee that pities my despaire? —
aire

Thou blabbing guest, what know'st thou of my fall? —
all

What did I when I first my Faire disclos'd? —
los'd

Where was my reason, that it would not doubt? —
out

What canst thou tell me of my Ladies will? —
ill

Wherewith can she acquit my loyall part? —
art

What hath she then with me to disaguise? —
aguise

What haue I done, since she gainst loue repin'd? —
pin'd

What did I when I her to life prefer'd? —
er'd

What did mine eyes, whil'st she my heart restrain'd? —
rain'd

What did she whil'st my muse her praise proclaim'd? —
claim'd

And what? and how? this doth me most affright. —
of right

What if I neuer sue to her againe? —
gaine

And what when all my passions are represt? —
rest

But what thing will best serue t'asswage desire? —
ire

And what will serue to mitigate my rage? —
age

I see the Sunne begins for to descend. —
end


William Alexander
