A true description of Loue.
Aske what loue is? it is a passion,Begun with rest, and pampred vp in play:
Planted on sight, and nourished day by day,
With talke at large, for hope to graze vpon,
It is a short ioy, long sought, and soone gon:
An endles maze, wherin our willes doo stray:
A gylefull gaine, repentance is the pay.
A great fier bred of small occasion,
A plague to make, our fraylty to vs knowen,
Where wee therby, are subiecte to their lay:
Whose fraylty ought, to leaue vntill our stay,
Of hope and health, such creatures for to pray,
Whose glory resteth cheefly on denaye.
FINIS.
