A fine and freendly Letter, of the Louer to his beloued.
Like as the Hauke is led by lure, to draw from tree to tree,So is my hart through force of loue, where euer my body bee
The Hauke to pray doth double wing, her flight is fled in vayne
I make my flight in waste of winde, my hope receyueth no gayne.
Haukes that be high it hurtes to light, two flightes wtout reward
My flight is two, and three againe, alas Mistresse regarde:
The Hauke brought low, is soone made high, by feeding on warme foode
Your mouthes breath settes mee aloft, there is nothing so good.
Good Lady then strain forth ye strings, whose tune may mee reuiue
And with straūg tongue do not prolong, my ioyes thus to depriue.
Within your brest my hart is hid, your will and it is one,
Regard my smart, the cure is yours, and losse, when I am gone.
Thus all your owne, I recommend mee wholly to your grace,
As seemeth you best for to reward, my plight and wofull case.
Which plight if you do counterpaise, with ioyes, as doth belonge,
My hart for ioy would tune accorde, to singe some pleasant songe.
FINIS.
