2. Epi. 5.

[I that the Winter's daughter am]

NIX IX CORNIX

SNOW 9 A CROW.

NIX:.

I that the Winter's daughter am
whilst thus my letters stand,
Am whiter then the plumbe of swan
or any ladye's hand;

IX:.

Take but away my letter first,
and then I doe encline
That stood before for milke white snowe
to be the figure nine.
And if that further you desire
by change to doe som trickes,
As blacke as any bird I am.
CORNIX: by adding COR to NIX.
