10 THE TWOFOLD POWER OF LOVE
Yf he that erst the fourme so livelye dreweOf Venus faas, tryvmpht in paynteres arte,
Thy father then what glorye did ensew,
By whose pencell a goddesse made thow arte!
Touchid with flame, that figure made some rewe,
And with her love surprysed manye a hart;
There lackt yet that should cure their hoot desyer:
Thow canst enflame and quenche the kyndled fyre.
