Laissa's
bathing in the sacred well
With charming beutie wounds the chastest haire.
Penardos valour into Plutos cell
To basest mynd's dois honour's woorth impaire
And moues the Coward to desire the fight:
And chastest recluse search for beuteis sight.
With charming beutie wounds the chastest haire.
Penardos valour into Plutos cell
To basest mynd's dois honour's woorth impaire
And moues the Coward to desire the fight:
And chastest recluse search for beuteis sight.
The fei full ourthrow of thy Sigismund
For Vsurpatioune: pryd, and priuatt gaine
Show's how the lord the loftie will confound,
And in extream's the humb'led soule sustaine
For tyrann's proud, loe heir a curbbing bitt:
For humb'led misers, heirs a confort fitt.
For Vsurpatioune: pryd, and priuatt gaine
Show's how the lord the loftie will confound,
And in extream's the humb'led soule sustaine
For tyrann's proud, loe heir a curbbing bitt:
For humb'led misers, heirs a confort fitt.
Those sacred lights proceiding foorth frome the
In Natours sueetnes staning straned airt
Maks vs the treasure of thy mynd to sie
The ritches rair wheir with thowe furnish'd art:
For beutie, Valour, right and hellishe wronge.
Ar prais'd reprou'd, and painted in thy songe.
In Natours sueetnes staning straned airt
Maks vs the treasure of thy mynd to sie
The ritches rair wheir with thowe furnish'd art:
For beutie, Valour, right and hellishe wronge.
Ar prais'd reprou'd, and painted in thy songe.
Dear freind with loue whill I admeir thy lyn's
Thy braue inuentioune clam's a fresh respect:
Thy gracefull method in them both so shyn's
That I am doubtfull whither to direct
My freindlie ey's, or well affected hart.
To playe the lizards, or the pensiue part.
