Zelotypia.
A sicknes sore, that dothe in secret wounde,
And gripes the harte, thoughe outward nothing showe;
The force whereof, the paciente doth confounde,
That oftentimes, dispaire therof doth growe:
And Ielousie, this sicknes hathe to name,
An hellishe paine, that firste from Plvto came.
And gripes the harte, thoughe outward nothing showe;
The force whereof, the paciente doth confounde,
That oftentimes, dispaire therof doth growe:
And Ielousie, this sicknes hathe to name,
An hellishe paine, that firste from Plvto came.
Which passion straunge, is alwaies beauties foe,
And moste of all, the married sorte enuies:
Oh happie they, that liue in wedlocke soe,
That in their brestes this furie neuer rise:
For, when it once doth harbour in the hatte,
It soiournes still, and doth too late departe.

Lo Procris heare, when wounded therwithall,
Did breede her bane, who mighte haue bath'de in blisse:
This corsie sharpe so fedde vppon her gall,
That all to late shee mourn'd, for her amisse:
For, whilst shee watch'd her husbandes waies to knowe,
Shee vnawares, was præye vnto his bowé.
