Faire Queene, attend; but oh I feare, quoth he,
Ere I haue ended my sad Historie,
Vnstaying time may bring on his last houre,
And so defraud vs of thy wished powre.
Yond goes a Shepherd: giue me leaue to run
And know the time of execution,
Mine aged limbs I can a little straine,
And quickly come (to end the rest) againe.
