I am one of these dumb wise menSo I've much ado to
know myselfI don't know how to get clearwith all the
depths I oweThru the hour-glass they flowI don't know
the free and offered lightThe lighting of my being
is as brightIf I break the day,
what would I gain?To hold a candle lighting shame?
I desire no delight, no more delightAll knowledge is
now burning in my eyesYou promise me blush lifeI stand
for sacrificeI wish You all the joy that You can wishSpirits
dull at nightI think You are deniedThe light we see
is burning in my eyesI don't show teeth in way of smileI
only see the hour-glass how it runsBy yonder-moon I
swear You do me wrongWith my own hands I strike You honour down
