[Ah were she pittifull, as she is faire]
Ah were she pittifull, as she is faire,
Or but so milde as she is seeming so,
Then were my hopes greater then my dispaire,
Then all the world were heauen, and nothing woe.
Or but so milde as she is seeming so,
Then were my hopes greater then my dispaire,
Then all the world were heauen, and nothing woe.

But beauty being pittilesse and sterne,
Cruell in deede, though milde in outward show:
Will neither hopes, or my dispaires discerne,
But leades me to a hell of endlesse woe.
Cruell in deede, though milde in outward show:
Will neither hopes, or my dispaires discerne,
