My yongest boy, and yet my eldest care,

At eighteene yeeres became inquisitiue

After his brother; and importun'd me

That his attendant, so his case was like,

Reft of his brother, but retain'd his name,

Might beare him company in the quest of him:

Whom whil'st I laboured of a loue to see,

I hazarded the losse of whom I lou'd.

Fiue Sommers haue I spent in farthest Greece,

Roming cleane through the bounds of Asia,

And coasting homeward, came to Ephesus:

Hopelesse to finde, yet loth to leaue vnsought

Or that, or any place that harbours men:

But heere must end the story of my life,

And happy were I in my timelie death,
