Debatefull strife, and cruell enmitie
2 The famous name of knighthood fowly +shend+;
But louely peace, and gentle amitie,
4 And in Amours the passing houres to spend,
The mightie martiall hands doe most commend;
6 Of loue they euer greater glory bore,
Then of their armes: Mars is Cupidoes frend,
8 And is for Venus loues renowmed more,
Then all his wars and spoiles, the which he did of yore.
