Random Poem of the Day

1Fy schoole of Patience, Fy, your lesson is
2Far far too long to learne it without booke:
3What a whole week without one peece of looke,
4And thinke I should not your large precepts misse?
5When I might read those letters faire of blisse,
6Which in her face teach vertue, I could brooke
8As of a friend that meant not much amisse:
9But now that I alas do want her sight,
10What, dost thou think that I can euer take
12No Patience, if thou wilt my good, then make
13Her come, and heare with patience my desire,
14And then with patience bid me beare my fire.
