60. [Scorn of Love's Power]
What art thow Cupid or yow queene of Louethat poetts fayne can our affections moue
to like where yow shall fancy, t'is not soe.
Ile loue there only where I treuly know
my loue shall bee repay'd wth equall fire
and both our harts make vp but one desire.
Were my owne honor'd saint exactly Faire
in euery parte soe exquisitly rare
that the great Judge of Beautie would confesse
shee'd farre exceede the three fam'd Goddessese
made vp into one Beautie: I will scorne
to bee hir Captiue, since I haue been forlorne.
