And blisse redust, to carefull pyned ghost:
Yet mayst thou sweare, that neuer lyued hee yet.
Who halfe such ease, receiued in pleasure most:
As thou sweete pendant, now in wofull brest
Impersid hast, O happy Pyramus,
Nay beeing a Lady, in whom such ruthe can rest:
Most blisfull Lady, most mighty Venus,
And mighty Thisbie (yea) Venus not displeased,
My Goddesse cheefe, my loue, my life and all:
For who but Thisbie would, nay could haue eased,
A hart remedyles, abandon thrall:
Wherfore since thus ye please, to show your might,
Make mee whole happy, with gladnesse of your sight.
