Earely the morrow next, before that day
2 His ioyous face did to the world reueale,
They both vprose and tooke their readie way
4 Vnto the Church, their prayers to appeale,
With great deuotion, and with litle zeale:
6 For the faire Damzell from the holy herse
Her loue-sicke hart to other thoughts did steale;
8 And that old Dame said many an idle verse,
Out of her daughters hart fond fancies to reuerse.
