Sanguis.
The Aierie Sanguine, in whose youthfull cheeke,
The Pestane Rose, and Lilly doe contend:
By nature is benigne, and gentlie meeke,
To Musick, and all merriment a frend;
As seemeth by his flowers, and girlondes gay,
Wherewith he dightes him, all the merry May.

And by him browzing, of the climbing vine,
The lustfull Goate is seene, which may import,
His pronenes both to women, and to wine,
Bold, bounteous, frend vnto the learned sort;
For studies fit, best louing, and belou'd,
Faire-spoken, bashfull, seld in anger moou'd.
