[Three play-fellowes (such three were neuer seene]
Three play-fellowes (such three were neuer seeneIn Venus court) vpon a summers day,
Met altogether on a pleasant greene,
Intending at some pretie game to play.
They Dian, Cupid, and Fidessa were:
Their wager, beautie, bow, and crueltie:
The conqueresse the stakes away did beare,
Whose fortune then it was to winne all three.
Fidessa, which doth these as weapons vse,
To make the greatest heart her will obay:
And yet the most obedient to refuse,
As hauing power poore louers to betray.
With these she wounds, she heales, giues life & death:
More power hath none that liues by mortall breath.
