Whom thus recouer'd by wise Patience,
2 And trew Repentance they to Vna brought:
Who ioyous of his cured conscience,
4 Him dearely kist, and fairely eke besought
Himselfe to chearish, and consuming thought
6 To put away out of his carefull brest.
By this Charissa, late in child-bed brought,
8 Was woxen strong, and left her fruitfull nest;
To her faire Vna brought this vnacquainted guest.
