The Louer vnto his Lady beloued, of her disdaynfulnesse toward him.
For beauties sake though loue doth dread thy might,And Venus thinks, by sute to proue thy dame:
Though Pallas striues, by hope of equall right,
For Wisdoms watch, as daughter thee to claime.
Though Mercury would entitled be thy Syre,
For thy sweet talke, so sweetly blazed forth:
Though all the Gods, do burne in like desire,
Thy graces rare, in heauen so much worth:
Yet lo, thy proofe I know, the trussy waight,
Of Tygars milke, thou fostred wert from molde,
And Cipres Well with dainful chaung of fraight.
Gaue thee to drinke infected poyson colde.
But yet beware, least loue renew in thee,
The dreadfull flame Narcissus whylom felt,
With eger moode, and sight to feede thine eye.
Of thine owne, from others flame to swell:
For loue doth loue with hot reuenge to wreake,
The ruthles Iron hart, that will not breake.
FINIS.
