OF this worlds Theatre in which we stay,
My loue lyke the Spectator ydly sits
beholding me that all the pageants play,
disguysing diuersly my troubled wits.
è Of this world’s Theatre in which we stay, my love, like the Spectator, idly sits, beholding me that play all the pageants, disguising diversely my troubled wits.
Sometimes I ioy when glad occasion fits,
and mask in myrth lyke to a Comedy:
soone after when my ioy to sorrow flits,
I waile and make my woes a Tragedy.
è
Sometimes I joy when glad occasion fits, and make in mirth like (to) a Comedy; soon after my joy flits to sorrow, I wail and make my woes a Tragedy.
Yet she beholding me with constant eye,
delights not in my merth no[r] rues my smart:
but when I laugh she mocks, and when I cry
she laughes, and hardens euermore her hart.
è
Yet she, beholding me with (an) constant eye, delights no in my mirth, nor rues my smart; but when I laugh she mocks, and when I cry she laughs, and hardens evermore her heart.
What then can moue her? if nor merth, nor mone,
she is no woman, but a sencelesse stone.
è
If it is nor mirth, nor moan, what then can move her? She is no woman, but a senseless stone.
