[Idall, for Adon, neu'r shed so many teares]
Idall, for Adon, neu'r shed so many teares:Nor Thet', for Pelid: nor Phœbus, for Hyacinthus:
Nor for Atis, the mother of Prophetesses:
As for the death of Bulbecke, the Gods haue cares.
At the brute of it, the Aphroditan Queene,
Caused more siluer to distyll fro her eyes:
Then when the droppes of her cheekes raysed Daisyes:
And to die with him, mortall, she would haue beene.
The Charits, for it breake their Peruqs, of golde:
The Muses, and the Nymphes of Caues: I beholde:
On Laches, Clothon, and Atropos to plaine.
And yet beautie, for it dooth make no complaint:
For it liu'de with him, and died with him againe.
