How can I then return in happy plight

That am debarred the benefit of rest,

When day’s oppression is not eased by night,

But day by night and night by day oppressed,

4

And each (though enemies to either’s reign)

Do in consent shake hands to torture me,

The one by toil, the other to complain

How far I toil, still farther off from thee?

8

I tell the day to please him thou art bright

And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven;

So flatter I the swart-complexioned night:

When sparkling stars twire not, thou gild’st the even.

12

But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,

And night doth nightly make grief’s length seem stronger.
