Pallas then speaketh, and presenteth hir gifte, whiche was a Booke of Wisedome.
Most worthy wight, what wouldste thou haue of me?
Thou haste so muche, thou canste enioy no more:
I cannot giue, that once I gaue to thee,
Nor take away thy good I gaue before.
I robbed was by Natures good consent
Againste my will, and yet I was content.
A Pallas thou, a Princesse I will be:
I Queene of losse, thou Goddesse whiche haste got:
I sometime was, thou onely now arte she,
I take, thou gauest that lucke that was my lot,
I giue not thee this Booke to learne thee aught,
For that I knowe already thou arte taught.
