Ah, will no soule giue eare vnto my mone? – one
Who answers thus so kindly when I crie? – I
What fostred thee that pities my despaire? – aire
Thou blabbing guest, what know’st thou of my fall? – all
What did I when I first my Faire disclos’d? – los’d
Where was my reason, that it would not doubt? – out
What canst thou tell me of my Ladies will? – ill
Wherewith can she acquit my loyall part? – art
What hath she then with me to disaguise? – aguise
What haue I done, since she gainst loue repin’d? – pin’d
What did I when I her to life prefer’d? – er’d
What did mine eyes, whil’st she my heart restrain’d? – rain’d
What did she whil’st my muse her praise proclaim’d? – claim’d
And what? and how? this doth me most affright. – of right
What if I neuer sue to her againe? – gaine
And what when all my passions are represt? – rest
But what thing will best serue t’asswage desire? – ire
And what will serue to mitigate my rage? – age
I see the Sunne begins for to descend. – end

Some external links: The Bat’s Poetry Cave. — Fledermaus’s poetry site. Talking Writing Monster. — the irreverent and irrelevant chatter on subjects both serious and not quite. A free for all board. You can scribble anything on it without registration (but it doesn’t let spammers in). You can even post your poems. Qwant.com. — a search engine from France. It’s an alternative because there are a few alternatives, like Bing, Duckduckgo, and Ecosia. And there is Yandex, the ultimate language-oriented search engine for the Russophone world. Commercial Links: Russian Commerce – the foreign trade assistance agency Other links: Poems and poetry in Russian (if you are reading this in English, as you obviously are, then you’d have to switch the language, the language switch is on the menu.
