What is the world? tell, Worldling (if thou know it).

If it be good, why do all ills o’erflow it?

If it be bad, why dost thou like it so?

If it be sweet, how come sit bitter then?

If it be bitter, what bewitcheth men?

If it be friend, why kills it (as a foe)

Vain-minded men that over-love and lust it?

If it be foe, Fondling, how dar’st thou trust it?

Thought:

“When new love plucks the falcon from his wrist,
And cuts the gyve and casts the scarlet hood,
Where is the heron heart whom flight avails?”
