(35) Enuye.
The mightie Ioue from highest heaven did sende
the fayer Phœbus, these gratefull newes to tell
to wicked virginns, in vice which did excell,
this greate favour that hee to them would lende,
That for herself, what anie one did crave
of him, her fellowe, duble that should haue.

this greate favour that hee to them would lende,
That for herself, what anie one did crave
of him, her fellowe, duble that should haue.
fforthwith, the monster vilde of all mankinde,
which gnawes her harte, and teares our worthie fame,
stepte forth and said, ‘Apollo, graunt this same,
that I one eye maye losse! for soe I finde
my fellowe shall loose her twoe eyes and sight.’
all which she spake through envie and despight.

Thus fretting envie, Ioyeng in our payne,
pininge her self when good to vs doth growe,
and fatting fast when hurte or losse doth flowe,
in all mischeif findinge her chefest gayne,
of her own hurte, nothing doth force at all,
yf double that vnto her neighbour fall.
