Laura. The Toyes of a Traveller. Or. The Feast of Fancie - Part 2, 26
Say (gentle frend) tell me in curtesie
Before what was I? and what am I now?
A senselesse shadow? or a bodie, I?
Neither of both: marke, and Ile tell thee how.
No bodie now, for that by proud disdaine
Of scornfull Shee, disliv'd was: shadow none,
For that did under-ground goe with the same,
Unwilling it should wander all alone.
What am I then? Even one that doth not know
What now he is, or what he was can show.
