Line 101: Line 101:
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb
Thus wedded to my woes, and bedded to my tomb
O, let me living die, till death do come
O, let me living die, till death do come
 
</poem>
My dainties grief shall be, and tears my poisoned wine,
My sighs the air through which my panting heart shall pine,
My robes my mind shall suit exceeding blackest night,
My study shall be tragic thoughts sad fancy to delight,
Pale ghosts and frightful shades shall my acquaintance be:
O thus, my hapless joy, I haste to thee.</poem>
