To my Lord of Pembroke.

FYE, Fye you sonnes of Pallas what madd rage

Makes you contend that Love's, or God, or page?

Hee that admires, his weaknes doth confess;

For as Love greater growes; soe hee growes less.

5Hee that disdaines, what honor wynns thereby,

That he feeles not, or triumphes on a fly?
