QVATORZAIN. 3 Thalia.

I that in Princes Pallaces was bred,
And did delight in euerie comicke sport,
Whose daintie feete on carpets vsde to treade,
And dance the measures statly in the court,
Will turne my mirthfull songs to dolefull cries,
And fill with teares the Heliconian brooke,
My louely cheekes besmeard with weeping eyes,
Like fleshlesse deathes Anatomie I looke,
For she that brought new reuels out of France,
When she returned to her natiue soyle,
Who sought my glory chiefly to aduance,
Hath now by death receiued a fatall foile,
Thus by her losse I am compeld to rue
That she to soone hath bid the world adewe.
