Eternall thraldome was to her more liefe,
2 Then losse of chastitie, or chaunge of loue:
Die had she rather in tormenting griefe,
4 Then any should of falsenesse her reproue,

And crowne of heauenly praise with Saints aboue,
8 Where most sweet hymmes of this thy famous deed
Are still emongst them song, that far my rymes exceed.
