W:Fie upon love! fond love! false love!
W:Great are the torments that W:lovers endure
W:It is a snare - brings care - bones bare
W:None can a W:remedy for it procure
W:Of all the afflictions that are incident
W:To us while we march under Time's regiment
W:There's nothing to man W:brings such discontent
W:As love unbeloved againe
W:It breaketh our sleep, it distracteth the wit
W:It make use doe things that for men are unfit
W:If I may but give a true censure on it
W:It shall be call'd "Labour in vaine".
