18. I dye when as I doe not see.

  I dye when as I doe not see
Her that is lyfe and all to mee :
And when I see her yet I dye,
In seeing of her crueltie :
    So that to mee like miserie is wrought,
    Both when I see and when I see her not.

Or shall I speake or silent greeue,
Yet who will silencie releeue :
And if I speake I may offend,
And speaking not my heart will rend :
    So that I see to mee it is all one,
    Speake I or speake I not, I am vndone.
