Proud in thy loue, how many haue I cited
(Impartiall) thee to view? whose eyes haue lauisht
Sweet beautious obiects oft haue men delighted:
But thou aboue delight their sense hast rauisht.
They amorous artists thee pronounc'd loues Queene,
And vnto thy supremacie did sweare,
Uenus at Paphos keepe, no more be seene,
Now Cupid after thee his shafts shall beare.
How haue I spent my spirit of inuention,
In penning amorous Stanza's to thy beautie?
But heauenly graces may not brooke dimension,
No more may thine, for infinite they be.
But now in harsh tune I of amours sing,
My pipe for them growes hoarse, but shrill to playning.
