Whom Palemon loued well:

And she lou’d him as well againe;

So that nothing did remaine,

But the tying Hymens Knot.

But it chanced so, God wot,

That an old decrepit man

Most prepostrously began,

With flatt’ring words to woo my Daughter,

But being still deny’d, he after

Turn’d his loue to mortall hate
