AMOUR. 40.
O thou unkindest fayre, most fayrest shee,
In thine eyes tryumph murthering my poore hart,
Now doe I sweare by heavens, before we part,
My halfe-slaine hart shall take revenge on thee.
In thine eyes tryumph murthering my poore hart,
Now doe I sweare by heavens, before we part,
My halfe-slaine hart shall take revenge on thee.
Thy Mother dyd her lyfe to Death resigne,
And thou an Angell art, and from above,
Thy father was a man, that will I prove,
Yet thou a Goddesse art, and so divine.

Yet thou a Goddesse art, and so divine.
And thus if thou be not of humaine kinde,
A Bastard on both sides needes must thou be,
Our Lawes alow no Land to basterdy:
By natures Lawes we thee a Bastard finde.
Then hence to heaven unkind, for thy childs part,
Goe Bastard goe, for sure of thence thou art.
