[Thou earthly God, whose ouer-ruling hand]

[How blest is he whose happy dayes are spent]

[Sweet louely flower, in gallant flourish faire]

[O that I might, then should I liue content]

[Whilst I did hazard, for vncertaine toyes]

[Can not thy eyes, the eyes of man command]

[Some Martiall men bewitch'd with beautie rare]

[If haples, I had harbord in my heart]

[The mal-content hunts Fortune here and there]

[It's true indeede this age is very strange]

[Can not thy eyes, the eyes of man command]

Can not thy eyes, the eyes of man command:
Hath not thy face sufficient force to kill,
But that thou must vngloue thy juorie hand,
Whose beautie robs proud Cupid of his skill:
So with thy hand thou shootes Cupidous darts,
And shootes at naught but at poore Lovers harts.
