Thus whilest all things in troublous vprore were,
2 And all men busie to suppresse the flame,
The louing couple need no reskew feare,
4 But leasure had, and libertie to frame
Their purpost flight, free from all mens reclame;
6 And Night, the patronesse of loue-stealth faire,
Gaue them safe conduct, till to end they came:
8 So bene they gone yfeare, a wanton paire
Of louers loosely knit, where list them to repaire.
