Still as his wound did gather, and grow hole,
2 So still his hart woxe sore, and health decayd:
Madnesse to saue a part, and lose the whole.

Whiles dayly plaisters to his wound she layd,

The whiles her matchlesse beautie him dismayd.
8 Ah God, what other could he do at least,
But loue so faire a Lady, that his life releast?
