O more then Moone, Draw not up seas to drowne me in thy spheare, 20 Weepe me not dead, in thine armes, but forbeare To teach the sea, what it may doe too soone; Let not the winde Example finde, To doe me more harme, then it purposeth; 25 Since thou and I sigh one anothers breath, Who e'r sighes most, is cruellest, and hasts the others death.
