Canzon. 26.
[When we in kind embracements had agre'd]
When we in kind embracements had agre'dTo keepe a royall banquet on our lips,
How soone haue we another feast decreed?
And how at parting haue we mourn'd by fits?
Eftsoones in absence haue we wayld much more,
Till those voyd houres of intermission
Were spent, that we might reuell as before,
How haue we bribed time for expedition?
And when remitted to our former loue-playes,
How haue we (ouerweening in deligth)
Accus'd the father Sexten of the dayes?
That then with Eagles wings he tooke his flight.
But now (old man) flye on, as swift as thought,
Sith eyes from loue and hope from heart is wrought.
