Woman, Lady, princes, Nimph, or Goddes
(more sure you are not, & you seeme no lesse)
Stay & attempt not passadg through this porte:
Heere the pale Lorde of saddnes keepes his courte
rough visagd Saturne; on whose bloudles cheekes
dull Melancholy sitts who straightly seekes
to sease on all that enter through this gate
graunte gratious listninge & I shall relate
The meanes, the manner, & of all the sence
whilst your faire eye inforceth eloquence:
