XI. ana. g: I FEAR NOT LOUE: Janett: Foullar.
O Loue who may thy youthfull ȝeeres repres,Thy wanton winges, and thy lasciuious radge?
who may thy willffull blindles will redres,
Thy subtill shaftees and furious flames asswadge?
Who shall them ffrie frome the, o princlie padge,
That playes the pleasant in thy youthffull yeers,
Then triomphs lyke a tirrant in thy adge,
And payes thy subiects treu with sobb and tears?
Ye virgin gods, that all our prayers hiers,
assist me now sence I am yet your own!
defend your doughter as to you affeirs,
sein that my heart to you was euer known!
I ffear not loue, bot yfe to loue I yeeld,
grant that I may with honour win the ffield.
