And by and by a cloud takes all away.

Till the last step have brought me to my love,
And there I’ll rest, as after much turmoil,
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.

If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

That longs for every thing that he can come by.

Is self from self. A deadly banishment:

What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by?

You dote on her that cares not for your love.

And thinking on it makes me cry ‘Alas’.

But constant, he were perfect.
