ÆNIGMA.

A treble paire, doth our late wracke repaire,
And sextiplies our mirth, for one mishappe;
These six, as hopes, to keepe vs from dispaire,
(When clappes wee feard) were sent vs at a clappe:
That we might clapp our hands in his high praise,
That made vs, by our Heads losse, much more faire,
And vs beheaded, so, our Head to raise:
One headlesse, made all looke as blacke as Hel,
All headlesse makes the Head and all looke well.
