Vertue
, beawtie, and speach, did strike, wound, charme,
My harte, eyes, eares, with wonder, love, delight:
First, second, last, did binde, enforce, and arme,
His workes, showes, suites, with wit, grace, and vow's might.
Thus honour, liking, trust, much, farre, and deepe,
Held, pearst, possest, my judgement, sence, and will,
Till wrong, contempt, deceipt, did growe, steale, creepe,
Bandes, favour, faith, to breake, defile, and kill.
Then greefe, unkindnes, proofe, tooke, kindled, tought,
Well grounded, noble, due, spite, rage, disdaine,
But ah, alas! (In vayne) my minde, sight, thought,
Doth him, his face, his words, leave, shunne, refraine,
For no thing, time, nor place, can loose, quench, ease,
Mine owne, embraced, sought, knot, fire, desease.
