pt. 1 Unquiet thoughts. Who ever thinks or hopes of love for love. My thoughts are winged with hopes. If my complaints could passions move. Canshe excuse my wrongs with virtue's cloak? Now, O now I needs must part. Dear, if you change I'll never choose again. Burst forth, my tears. Go, crystal tears. Think'st thou then by they feigning?--pt. II. Come away, come, sweet love! Rest awhile, you cruel cares. Sleep, wayward thoughts. All ye, who love or fortune. Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me? Would my conceit. Come again! art returned. Come, heavy sleep. Away with these self-loving lads.
