Who wonders not, that reades so wonderous worke?
2 But who does wonder, that has red the Towre,
Wherein th'{AE}gyptian Phao long did lurke
4 From all mens vew, that none might her discoure,
Yet she might all men vew out of her bowre?
6 Great Ptolom{ae}e it for his lemans sake
Ybuilded all of glasse, by Magicke powre,
8 And also it impregnable did make;
Yet when his loue was false, he with a peaze it brake.
