So ringe the peale of love, truith, iustice out,as it, into theire choire, all heerers chime;
so cease the belles, of discordes dismal rowt,
as it entewne this harmonie divine;
so virtues flame woold loves sweete lampe entine,
as Chaucer, Lidgate, Sidney, Spencer dead,
yett livinge swanns, singe out what thow haste sedd?
