Senseless trees, they cannot hear thee;
Ruthless bears, they will not cheer thee;
King Pandion, he is dead;

All thy friends are lapp'd in lead:
All thy fellow birds do sing,
Careless of thy sorrowing.
Even so, poor bird, like thee,
None alive will pity me.
Whilst as fickle fortune smiled,
Thou and I were both beguiled.
Every one that flatters thee,
Is no friend in misery.
Words are easy like the wind:
Faithful friends are hard to find.
Every man will be thy friend,
Whilst thou hath wherewith to spend:
But if store of crowns be scant,
No man will supply thy want.
If that one be prodigal,
Bountiful they will him call:
And with such like flattering,
"Pity but he were a king."
If he be addict to vice,
Quickly him they will entice;
If to women he be bent,

They have him at commandement;
Put if fortune once do frown,

Then farewell his great renown:
They that fawn'd on him before,
Use his company no more.
He that is thy friend indeed,
He will help thee in thy need,
If thou sorrow, he will weep:
If thou wake, he cannot sleep:
Thus of every grief in heart
He with thee doth bear a part.
These are certain signs to know
Faithful friend from flattering foe.

If music and sweet poetry agree,

[ther,

As they must needs, the sister and the broThen must thy love be great 'twixt thee and me, Because thon lov'st the one, and I the other. Dowland to thee is dear, whose heavenly touch Upon the lute doth ravish human sense: Spenser to me, whose deep conceit is such,

As passing all conceit, needs no defence, Thou lov'st to hear the sweet melodious sound That Phoebus' lute, the queen of music, makes, And I in deep delight am chiefly drown'd,

When as himself to singing lie betakes. One god is god of both, as poets feign; One knight loves both, and both in thee remain. XIX.

Take, oh, take those lips away,

That so sweetly were forsworn;
And those eyes, the break of day,

Lights that do mislead the morn:
But my kisses bring again,
Seals of love, but seal'd in vain.
Hide, oh, hide those hills of snow

Which thy frozen bosom bears,
On whose tops the pinks that grow
Are of those that April wears:
But first set my poor heart free,
Bound in those icy chains by thee.

VERSES AMONG THE ADDITIONAL
POEMS TO CHESTER'S LOVE'S MAR-
TYR, 1601.

Let the bird of loudest lay,

On the sole Arabian tree,
Herald sad and trumpet be,

To whose sound chaste wings obey.

But thou shrieking harbinger,
Foul pre-currer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near
From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing,
Save the eagle, feather'd king
Keep the obsequy so strict.
Let the priest in surplice white,
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.
And thou, treble-dated crow,

That thy sable gender mak'st
With the breath thou giv'st and tak'st,
'Mongst our mourners shalt thou go
Here the anthem doth commence :-
Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.
So they lov'd, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none:
Number there in love was slain.
Hearts remote, yet not asunder;

Distance, and no space was seen
'Twixt the turtle and his queen;
But in them it were a wonder.
So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the Phoenix' sight!
Either was the other's mine.
Property was thus appall'd,

That the self was not the same;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was call'd.
Reason in itself confounded,

Saw division grow together;
To themselves yet either neither
Simple were, so well compounded;
That it cried, how true a twain

Seemeth this concordant one!
Love hath reason, reason none,
If what parts can so remain.
Whereupon it made this threne;

To the phoenix and the dove, Co-supremes and stars of love; As chorus to their tragic scene.

THRENOS.

Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here inclos'd in cinders lie.
Death is now the phoenix' nest;
And the turtle's loyal breast
To eternity doth rest,
Leaving no posterity :-
'Twas not their infirmity,
It was married chastity.
Truth may seem, but cannot be :
Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.
To this urn let those repair
That are either true or fair;

For these dead birds sigh a prayer.
