305.1

WOnder it is to see, in diuerse minds,
2 How diuersly loue doth his pageants play,
And shewes his powre in variable kinds:
4 The baser wit, whose idle thoughts alway
Are wont to cleaue vnto the lowly clay,
6 It stirreth vp to sensuall desire,
And in lewd slouth to wast his carelesse day:
8 But in braue sprite it kindles goodly fire,
That to all high desert and honour doth aspire.

1 Wonder it is to see, in diverse minds,

Wonder > [A] marvel

2 How diversely love does his pageants play, 3 And shows his power in variable kinds:

variable > differing, diverse kinds > natures; kinds, sorts, fashions

4 The baser wit (whose idle thoughts alway

wit > mind, intelligence alway > always

5 Are wont to cleave to the lowly clay)

wont > accustomed clay > [flesh, after Gen. 2.7]
