The

The Labyrinth, the worlds inconstancie,
The passionate Desert doth signifie.

True vertue doth the Lady represent,
The hag foule Enuy, alwaies malecontent:
Who what the Ladie, frames and rectifies,
She in despite, inchants, and vilifies.

Wherein the Authors purpose is to show,
Enuies assault, And Vertues counterblow:
How Enuie showes her most obsequious,
When she would circumuent the Vertuous.
