2. 3.
Can loue be ritch and yet I want, If loue doth make mens liues too soure
Is loue my iudge and yet I am condemn'd? Let me not lloue, nor liue hencforth
Thou plenty hast, yet me dost scant, Die shall my hopes, but not my faith
Thou made a god, and yet thy power contemn'd. That you that of my fall may heaters be
That I do liue it is thy power, May here despaire, which truly saith
That I desire it is thy worth, I was more true to loue, then loue to me.
