[XLV. The second part. Bvt not so soone]

Bvt not so soone, from greene stock where it growed

Bvt not so soone, from greene stock where it growed, the same is pluckt, and from the braunch remoued, as lost is all from heauen and earth that flowed, both fauour grace & beauty best beloued, The virgen fayre, that hath the flowre bestowed, which more then life to gard it her behoued, loseth her prayse & is no more desired, of those that late vnto her loue aspired, of those that late vnto her loue aspired, loseth her praise & is no more desired, of those that late vnto her loue aspired, of those that late vnto her loue aspired.
