To ERANTINA.

Well may I read as on a snowie sheet
Of paper faire, my fortune in thy face,
Since at my sight thine eyes are both repleit,
With loueles looks presaging but disgrace:
And thou into my visage wann allace,
May see in sad characters of my care,
Since neither ruth nor pittie can haue place,
A boundles Booke, a volume of dispare.
Thus like a Glasse my face may well declare
My loue to thee, and with my loue my paine:
Thine show's againe (though it be matchles faire)
Thy hatefull heart and vndeseru'd disdaine.
O antipathie strange to be susteind,
I loue my foe, thou hats thy faithfull friend.
Vidi ego quæ veneris fallendo iura resesuit,
Perfidiæ penas sæpe luisse graues.
