Songs and EpigramsTo his Lover to look upon him

Thou hidest thyself, and I must die therefore;
But since thou mayst so easily help thy friend,
Why dost thou stick to salve that thou madest sore?

And if I die, thy life may last no more;
For each by other doth live and have relief,
I in thy look, and thou most in my grief.
