Or if there were a simpathie in choise,

Warre, death, or sicknesse, did lay siege to it;

Making it momentarie, as a sound:

Swift as a shadow, short as any dreame,

Briefe as the lightning in the collied night,

That (in a spleene) vnfolds both heauen and earth;

And ere a man hath power to say, behold,

The iawes of darknesse do deuoure it vp:

So quicke bright things come to confusion.
