SONNET. IIII.
[Did you sometimes three German brethren see]
Did you sometimes three German brethren seeRancor twixt two of them so raging rife,
That th'one could stick the other with his knife?
Now if the third assaulted chance to bee
By a fourth stranger, him set on the three:
Them two twixt whom afore was deadly strife,
Made one to robbe the stranger of his life.
Then doe you know our state aswell as we,
Beautie and Chastitie with her were borne
Both at one birth, and vp with her did grow:
Beautie still foe to Chastitie was sworne,
And Chastitie sworne to be Beauties foe:
And yet when I lay siege vnto her heart,
Beautie and Chastitie both take her part.
