[My mortall Foe, in whom you wonted were to see]
My mortall Foe, in whom you wonted were to see
Your diamond eyes, which heauen & loue do honor much
Not with his Beautie, (but your owne) makes you to be
Enamourd; tis so rare, so sweet, of Vertue such:

(Lady) by his aduise you haue cashiered me,
(A wofull Exile, from that louely Lodge of mine)
Although I yeeld my selfe vnworthy for to be
Placed; where you sit crown'd with Fauour most diuine.

Placed; where you sit crown'd with Fauour most diuine.
But had I bin (as you made show) deare in your Loue,
Me thinkes a paltry Looking-glasse in my disgrace
Should not haue made you halfe so proud, as to remoue

Assure you, if you thinke but on Narcissus fall,
Your Destiny, and his, are like to be all one,
Although the ground (when you turne to a Flowre) shall
Vnworthy be for to enioy so rare a One.
Remember Pride's the roote of euery sinne:
Rather be Courteous, so you prayse shall winne.
