Epig. 104. Against Luciaes variety.
Faire Lucia's full of Fortunes fauours, whichMakes her so wanton proud, shee'le fall I feare:
(That's common to the yong, if faire and rich)
Now plaies she with her Dogge, then, with her Deere:
Now, heere she is, then there, novv sits, then lyes:
Now sighes, then laughes, and now, and then (beside)
50
Because no one Thing long, she can abide:
Then Things must needes be short and sweete that shee
Loues long, yet long in loue shee cannot bee,
Because she onely loues variety.
