- 1 Beshrew that heart that makes my heart to groan
- 2 For that deep wound it gives my friend and me;
- 3 Is’t not enough to torture me alone,
- 4 But slave to slavery my sweet’st friend must be?
- 5 Me from my self thy cruel eye hath taken,
- 6 And my next self thou harder hast engrossed,
- 7 Of him, my self, and thee I am forsaken,
- 8 A torment thrice three-fold thus to be crossed:
- 9 Prison my heart in thy steel bosom’s ward,
- 10 But then my friend’s heart let my poor heart bail,
- 11 Whoe’er keeps me, let my heart be his guard,
- 12 Thou canst not then use rigour in my gaol.
- 13 And yet thou wilt, for I being pent in thee,
- 14 Perforce am thine and all that is in me.
