What sweet releef
 
Phebe twise took her horns
 
Louers men warn the corps
 
Sythe, Blackwood
 
Sythe, Vincent
 
Imps of king Ioue
 
In workyng well
 
Who wold beleeue mans life
 
One is my sire
 
By heauens hye gift
 
A heauy hart
 
Charis the fourth
 
What cause, what reaso[n]
 
Deserts of Nymphs
 
Now flaming Phebus
 
So happy bee
 
To you, madame, I wish
 
As this first daye of Ianus
 
Gorgeous attire
 
To you this present yere
 
No image carued
 
What one art thou
 
The auncient time commended
 
What path list you to tred?
 
What race of life ronne you?
 
When princes lawes
 
Of all the heauenly gifts
 
The issue of great Ioue
 
The worthy Wilfords body
 
For Wilford wept first men
 
Man, by a woman lern
 
Myrrour of matrones
 
Now, blythe Thaley
 
Why, Nicolas
 
Yea, and a good cause
 
The noble Henry
 
Mee thought, of late
 
Now clattering arms
 
Therfore, when restlesse rage
 
For Tullie

Sythe, Vincent

G. Blackwood to. N. Vincent, with weddyng.

Sythe, Vincent, I haue minde to wed a wife:
You bid me tell, wherfore I like that life.
Foule will I not, faire I desire: content,
If faire me fayle, with one indifferent.
Fair, you alledge, a thousand will applie:
But, nere so oft requirde, she will denie.
Meane beautie doth soone fade: therof playn hee,
Who nothing loues in woman, but her blee.
Frute if she bring, of frute is ioyfull sight:
If none, what then? our burden is but light.
The rest, you ming, certesse, we graunt, be great:
Stif hert, vndaunted hed cause soom to freat.
But, in all thinges, inborne displeasures be:
Yea pleasure we, full of displeasure, se.
And maruail you, I looke for good estate,
Hereafter if a woman be my mate?
N1r


Oh straight is vertues path, if sooth men say:
And likewise, that I seek, straight is the way.
