Epig. 10. De Fama, & Amore.

Flie thou from Loue, and it wil follow thee
But folow Fame, and it wil flie from thee:
Then flie from Fame, and follow Loue, if either;
Then thou'lt loose fame, & yet attain loue neither:
Since diuers are the waies of Loue and Fame,
No maruel then thogh loue oft end with shame.
