Against one very deformed.

To paint the minde tis counted hard,
the corps to paint tis light:
But now in thee so foule deformd,
it falles contrarie quight.
For nature thine doth plaine bewraie,

[65]

the manners of thy mynde:
And therefore how thy mynde is bent,
but easie tis to finde.
But now thy foule mis shapen limmes,
how may they painted be?
And portraid out? when euery man
doth loth to looke on thee.
