 | Argalvs and Parthenia |  |
Thrice noble Sir (she thus replide) your tongue
(Perchance) hath done the faire Parthenia wrong,
In your mistake, and too much honour'd me,
That (in my iudgement) was more fit to be
Her foyle, then picture; yet hath many an eye
Giuen the like sentence, she not being by;
Nay, more; I haue bin told; that my owne mother
Fail'd often to distinguish t'one from t'other.
