[Faction that euer dwels]
Faction that euer dwels,
In court where wits excells,
Hath set defiance,
Fortune and loue hath sworne,
That they were neuer borne,
Of one aliance.
In court where wits excells,
Hath set defiance,
Fortune and loue hath sworne,
That they were neuer borne,
Of one aliance.
1
Fortune sweares, weakest hartsThe bookes of Cupids arts
Turne with hir wheele,
Sences themselues shall proue
Venture hir place in loue
Aske them that feele.
2
This discord it begetA theist that honour not
Nature thought good,
Fortune should euer dwell
In court where wits excell
Loue keepe the vvood.
3
So to the wood vvent IWith loue to liue and die
Fortune forlorne,
Experience of my youth
Made mee thinke humble truth
In desert borne.
4
My saint is deere to mee,And lone hir selfe is shee
Ione faier and true,
Ione that doth euer moue,
Passions of loue with loue
Fortune adiew.
