Burden

Is a burden hard to be borne:
The evening light on the foam, and the swans, there;
That music, remote, forlorn.”

And then take hands.
Curtsied when you have and kissed
The wild waves whist,
Foot it featly here and there;
And, sweet sprites, the burden bear.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
