[Where Fortune had her birth the Sunne sate downe]
Where
Fortune had her birth the Sunne sate downe,
Yet gaue no liuing glorie to the childe,
She grew and gaue the God a golden crowne,
It pleased him not, for he was euer milde:
Yet drew she disposition from his throne,
That without her no wight can moue alone.
Yet gaue no liuing glorie to the childe,
It pleased him not, for he was euer milde:
Yet drew she disposition from his throne,
That without her no wight can moue alone.
