deaf Heaven with my bootless cries, And look upon myself, and curse my fate, Wishing me like
to one more rich in hope, Featur'd like him, like him with friends possess'd, Desiring this man's
art, and that man's scope, With what I most enjoy contented least: Yet in these thoughts myself
almost despising, Haply I think on thee, and then my state (Like to the lark at break of day
arising From sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate; For thy sweet love remember'd such
wealth brings That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
