Page ix - I am of them that farthest cometh behind. Yet may I, by no means, my wearied mind Draw from the deer; but as she fleeth afore Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore, Since in a net I seek to hold the wind. Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt, As well as I, may spend his time in vain.

Page 29 - MY lute, awake ! perform the last Labour that thou and I shall waste, And end that I have now begun; For when this song is sung and past, My lute, be still, for I have done.
Page 84 - PATIENCE ! though I have not The thing that I require; I must, of force, God wot, Forbear my most desire, For no ways can I find To sail against the wind. Patience ! do what they will To work me woe or spite; I shall content me still To think both day and night; To think, and hold my peace, Since there is no redress.
