Quasi Platanus.
Lyke as the goodly plane, doth beautify the feild,And far her root extend, more stedfast for to stay,
To make her farspred boughes refreshful shadow yeild,
For trauelers repose, in hotest tyme of day,
So thow exalted art, of heauen to be beheld,
Where in assured state, thy boughes thow do'st desplay,
To the refreshful shade, of trauelers desyre,
That pas in dangers dread, of soule afflicting fyre.
