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
