A Louer being commaunded by his beloued to giue place to the disdayned crue, he writeth as followeth.
With heauie hart, and many a dole, adue:I doe giue place to the disdained crue:
But,
When, you command, who may command ye hest,
Shall, I, denie who may the worst of all:
I, rather wish the hart within my brest,
Lie, dround in death: and soule to hell be thrall,
With, willing minde I to your hest agree,
You, did commaund, that was enough for mee.
