Penelope that longed for the sight,
of her Ulisses, wandrying all to long,
felt never joy, wherein she tooke delyght,
although she lyv'd in greatest joyes among,
so I poore wretch, posesing that I crave,
both live and lacke, by wrong of that I have.
Then blame me not, although to heavens I cry,
and pray the gods, that shortly I myght dye.
