46 Of Lelia.
When louely Lelia was a tender girle,She hapt to be deflowred by an Earle;
Alas, poore wench, she was to be excused,
Such kindnesse oft is offered, seld refused.
But be not proud; for she that is no Countesse,
And yet lies with a Count, must make account this,
All Countesses in honour her surmount,
They haue, she had, an honourable Count.
