I humbly do beseech of your pardon, For too much loving you
O sleep! O gentle sleep! Nature's soft nurse.
But men are men; the best sometimes forget.
There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man; And bitter shame hath spoil'd the sweet world's taste That it yields nought but shame and bitterness.
My love is deep; the more I give to thee, the more I have, both are infinite.
My dull brain was wrought with things forgotten.
