To this one fawlt perchaunce yeet might I yeld;

For I will graunt sith wretched Syche's dethe,

My spouse and hawse with brother slaughter stained,

This onley man hath made my senses bend,

And pricketh forthe the minde that gan to slide:

Feelinglie I taste the steppes of mine old flame.

But first I wishe the erth me swallow downe,

Or with thunder the mighty Lord me send

To the pale gostes of hell and darkness depe,

Or I thee stayne shamefastness, or the lawes.'"
