XIX.
There never ran more fearse and ouglyie beare,nor cruell beaste in vnmaneured land,
who, gif the Echoes of my playnts culd heare,
wald not have steyd for woe and taymed stand;
there never lyon was in lybia sand,
nor hill so high bot might bene lowe and playne,
nor bird nor fishe subdewed by lyme or wand
bot wald have wayld with me my endles payne:
yet onlie shee frome pittie dois refrayne,
and voyde of grace shee laughs to see me loure,
the humbler I, shee prouder growes agayne,
and never will one dropp of pittie pouer.
why hest thowe, nature, then thy worke invert,
that framd her not a face lyke to her harte?
