And thy stepfather fights by thy example.

Light art thou, and more windy than thy wings;

Joys with uncertain faith thou tak'st and brings:50

Yet Love, if thou with thy fair mother hear,

Within my breast no desert empire bear;

Subdue the wandering wenches to thy reign,

So of both people shalt thou homage gain.
