Description of the contrarious Passions in a Lover

I FIND no peace, and all my war is done;

I fear and hope, I burn, and freeze like ice;

I fly aloft, yet can I not arise;

And nought I have, and all the world I seize on,

That locks nor loseth, holdeth me in prison,

And holds me not, yet can I scape no wise:

Nor letteth me live, nor die, at my devise,

And yet of death it giveth me occasion.

Without eye I see; without tongue I plain:

I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;

I love another, and I hate myself;

I feed me in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain.

Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,

And my delight is causer of this strife.
