[XXVI. Loue hath proclamed war by trumpet sounded.]

Loue hath proclamed warre by Trumpet sounded

Loue hath proclamed warre by Trumpet sounded, And made a vow yt beauty shalbe wounded, Diana, see thy Nymfs be strōgly garded, see for his stroks will amaze them, if not well warded, And Amarillis hyde thy beauties treasure, Lest in thy looks loue take too great a pleasure: if he assalt thee, being thus enraged, his wrath in thee alas must be assuaged.
