How heavy do I journey on the way, When what I seek, my weary
travel's end, Doth teach that ease and that repose to say 'Thus
far the miles are measured from thy friend!' The beast that
bears me, tired with my woe, Plods dully on, to bear that weight
in me, As if by some instinct the wretch did know His rider
loved not speed, being made from thee: The bloody spur cannot
provoke him on That sometimes anger thrusts into his hide; Which
heavily he answers with a groan, More sharp to me than spurring
to his side; For that same groan doth put this in my mind; My
grief lies onward and my joy behind. How to Analyze a
