Cease sorrows now, <br />for you have done the deed, <br />lo care hath now consum'd <br />my carcase quite, <br />no hope is left <br />nor help can stand instead, <br />for doleful death <br />doth cut off pleasure quite, <br />yet whilst I hear <br />the knolling of the bell, <br />before I die, <br />I'll sing my faint farewell, <br />farewell.<br /><br />Thomas Weelkes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cease-sorrows-now/
