Val. Is selfe from selfe. A deadly banishment:
Val. What light, is light, if Siluia be not seene?
Val. What ioy is ioy, if Siluia be not by?
Val. Vnlesse it be to thinke that she is by
Val. And feed vpon the shadow of perfection.
Val. Except I be by Siluia in the night,
Val. There is no musicke in the Nightingale.
Val. Vnlesse I looke on Siluia in the day,
Val. There is no day for me to looke vpon.
Val. Shee is my essence, and I leaue to be;
Val. If I be not by her faire influence
Val. Foster'd, illumin'd, cherish'd, kept aliue.
Val. I flie not death, to flie his deadly doome,
Val. Tarry I heere, I but attend on death,
Val. But flie I hence, I flie away from life.
