A Poeme.
M Mvses attending all on Pallas traine,A Amongst the rest was one, though not the least,
C Carrying the minde that most might honour gaine,
K Kinde yet with care that might become her best,
W Wise as a woman, men can be no more:
I Judge who it is, I may not tell her name,
L Loue of the life that vertue doth adore:
L Life of the loue that gaines the highest fame.
I Joyne but the thought of loue and life together,
A And one may finde anothers excellence,
M Meere loue, deare life can sorrow neuer wither,
S Such is the power of heauenly prouidence.
Finis.
