Wishing me like to one more rich

Featured like him, like him with

With what I most enjoy contented

Yet in these thought myself most
despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then

Like to the lark at break of day

From sullen earth, sings hymns at

For they sweet love remember’d
such wealth brings
That then Iscom to change my
state with kings.
