Where most my thoughts, there least mine eye is striking;
Where least I come there most my heart abideth;
Where most I love I never show my liking;
From what my mind doth hold my body slideth;[Pg 160]
I show least care where most my care dependeth;
A coy regard where most my soul attendeth
Despiteful thus unto myself I languish
And in disdain myself from joy I banish
These secrеt thoughts enwrap me so in anguish
That life, I hopе, will soon from body vanish
And to some rest will quickly be conveyèd
That on no joy, while so I lived, hath stayèd
Where most my thoughts was written by John Wilbye.
