XXXIII. [Be as thow seemst, faire creature.]
Be as thow seemst, faire creature,Or call not it unconstancie
To change when that doth change I lou'd in thee.
I think that nature wold haue made the faire:
No questioune but shee aim'd to make the goode.
But 't seemes thy froward nature her withstoode,
So litle didst thou scape of being rare
Of vertue: pittie onlie dost thou lake,
And onlie frownes thy beutie fowle doe make.
Haue pittie then: want frownes: the world shall see
Thy beeing as thou seemst my constancie.
