143 [from Pamphilia to Amphilanthus]
23
When every one to pleasing pastime hies
some hunt, some hauke, some play, while some delight
in sweet discourse, and musique showes joys might
yett I my thoughts doe farr above thes prise.
5 The joy which I take, is that free from eyes
I sitt, and wunder att this daylike night
soe to dispose them-selves, as voyd of right;
and leave true pleasure for poore vanities;
When others hunt, my thoughts I have in chase;
10 if hauke, my minde att wished end doth fly,
discourse, I with my spiritt tauke, and cry
while others, musique is theyr greatest grace.
O God, say I, can thes fond pleasures move?
Or musique bee butt in deere thoughts of love?
