Low
When by thy scorne, O murdresse, I am dead,
And that thou thinkst thee free
From all solicitation from mee,
Then shall my ghost come to thy bed,
And thee, fain`d vestall, in worse armes shall see;
Then thy sicke taper will begin to winke,
And he,whose thou art then, being tyr`d before,
Will, if thou stirre, or pinch to wake him, thinke
Thou call`st for more,
And in false sleepe will from thee shrinke,
And then poore Aspen wretch, neglected thou
Bath`d in a cold quicksilver swear wilt lye
A veryer ghost than I;
What I will say, I will not tell thee now,
Lest that preserve thee; and since my love is spent,
I`had rather thou shouldst painfully repent,
Than by my threatenings rest still innocent.
