III. EPIGRAME.
The fame is Ryffe of this,
And oft affirmed trewe:
A man that murdred is,
And after laid to veiwe,
If that the murthring wight
approche that did the deid,
The woundes burste open quight,
Begining fresh to bleid;
Contrarywyse dothe shewe,
If that the murderer scape,
The woundes doe keip ther hew,
The man his deadlye shape.

So farethe loue by me—
Thexample is to plaine—
For daye & night I dee,
Even murdred with disdaine;
But if my love approche
To me, by hap or grace,
My woundes, as newe abroach,
Begin̄s to bleid apace;
And otherwyse if I
may noght hir presence haue,
As murdred wight I lye,
Euen redye for the graue.
