And yet complain'st of his great jealousie;
If swolne with poyson, hee lay in' his last bed,
His body with a sere-barke covered,
Drawing his breath, as thick and short, as can 5

Ready with

His Soule out of one hell, into a new,
Made deafe with his poore kindreds howling cries,
Begging with few feign'd teares, great legacies, 10
Thou would'st not weepe, but jolly,'and frolicke bee,
As a slave, which to morrow should be free;
Yet weep'st thou, when thou seest him hungerly
Swallow his owne death, hearts-bane jealousie.

Or done, is light to what she 'll say or do;--

Vers ma pale etoile,
Sous un plafond de brume ou dans un vaste ether,
Je mets a la voile;
La poitrine en avant et les poumons gonfles
Comme de la toile,
J'escalade le dos des flots amonceles
Que la nuit me voile;
Je sens vibrer en moi toutes les passions
D'un
vaisseau
qui souffre;
Le bon vent, la tempete et ses convulsions
Sur l'immense gouffre
Me bercent.
