Elegia XII.
Tabellas quas miserat execratur quod amica noctem negabat.
- Bewail my chance: the sad book is returned,
- This day denial hath my sport adjourned.
- Presages are not vain; when she departed,
- Napè by stumbling on the threshold, started.
- Going out again, pass forth the door more wisely,
- And somewhat higher bear thy foot precisely.
- Hence luckless tables! funeral wood, be flying!
- And thou, the wax, stuffed full with notes denying!
- Which I think gathered from cold hemlock's flower,
- Wherein bad honey Corsic bees did pour:
10 - Yet as if mixed with red lead thou wert ruddy,
- That colour rightly did appear so bloody.
- As evil wood, thrown in the highways, lie,
- Be broke with wheels of chariots passing by!
- And him that hewed you out for needful uses,
- I'll prove had hands impure with all abuses.
- Poor wretches on the tree themselves did strangle:
- There sat the hangman for men's necks to angle.
- To hoarse scrich-owls foul shadows it allows;
- Vultures and Furies nestled in the boughs.
20 - To these my love I foolishly committed,
- And then with sweet words to my mistress fitted.
- More fitly had they wrangling bonds contained
- From barbarous lips of some attorney strained.
- Among day-books and bills they had lain better,
- In which the merchant wails his bankrupt debtor
- Your name approves you made for such-like things,
- The number two no good divining brings.
- Angry, I pray that rotten age you racks,
- And sluttish white-mould overgrow the wax.
