SONNET XXXVI.
[And thus continuing with outrageous fier]
And thus continuing with outrageous fier,My sunne proceeding forward to my sorrow
Tooke vp his court, but willing to retier
VVithin the Lyons denne his rage did borrow:
But whiles within that mansion he remayned,
How cruell was Parthenophe to me,
And when of my great sorrowes I complained,
She Lyon-like wish't the might tenfold be:
Then did I rage and in vnkindly passions
I rent mine heare, and rac'd my tender skinne,
And rauing in such frantique fashions,
That with such crueltie she did beginne
To feede the fier which I was burned in.
Can women brooke to deale so sore with men?
She mannes woe learn'd it in the Lyons denne.
