AN ELEGIE VPON THESE ELEGIES.

Let fond Leander warne thee, to remaine
Upon the Riuer banke in safetie:
Let Piramus rash fact thy hand restraine,
Too deare costs Loue, mix'd with such crueltie:
Lastly, let Dido warne thee by her end,
To trie that Guest thou makes thy bosome friend.
Venit amor grauius quo serius vrimur intus,
Vrimur, & cæcum pectora vulnus habent.
