 26211948Par:Haue I thought long to see this mornings face,
 26221949And doth it now present such prodegies?
 26231950Accurst, vnhappy, miserable man,
11951Forlorne, forsaken, destitute I am:
21952Borne to the world to be a slaue in it.
31953Distrest, remediles, and vnfortunate.
41954O heauens,O nature,wherefore did you make me,
51955To liue so vile, so wretched as I shall.
61956Cap:O heere she lies that was our hope, our ioy,
71957And being dead, dead sorrow nips vs all.
  
81958All at once cry out and wring their hands
  
  
91959All cry:All our ioy, and all our hope is dead,
101960Dead, lost, vndone, absented, wholy fled.
111961Cap:Cruel, vniust, impartiall destinies,
121962Why to this day haue you preseru'd my life?
131963Too see my hope, my stay, my ioy, my life,
141964Depriude of sence, of life, of all by death,
151965Cruell, vniust, impartiall destinies.
161966Cap:O sad fac'd sorrow map of misery,
171967Why this sad time haue I desird to see.
181968This day, this vniust, this impartiall day
191969Wherein I hop'd to see my comfort full,
201970To be depriude by suddaine destinie.
211971Moth:O woe, alacke, distrest, why should I liue?
221972To see this day, this miserable day.
231973Alacke the time that euer I was borne,
241974To be partaker of this destinie.
251975Alacke the day, alacke and welladay.
 26451976Fr:O peace for shame, if not for charity.
11977Your daughter liues in peace and happines,
21978And it is vaine to wish it otherwise.
