Shyning with beauties light, and heauenly vertues grace.

Whom soone as I beheld, my hart gan throb, liii

And wade in doubt, what best were to be donne:

For sacrilege me seem’d the Church to rob,

And folly seem’d to leaue the thing vndonne,

Which with so strong attempt I had begonne.

Tho shaking off all doubt and shamefast feare,

Which Ladies loue I heard had neuer wonne

Mongst men of worth, I to her stepped neare,

And by the lilly hand her labour’d vp to reare.
