Vnto Diana, the goddes inmortall;[1564]
O mercyles madame, hard is your constellacyon,
So close to kepe your cloyster virgynall,
Enhardid adyment the sement of your wall!
Alas, what ayle you to be so ouerthwhart,
To bannysshe pyte out of a maydens harte?
Why haue the goddes shewyd me this cruelte,
Sith I contryuyd first princyples medycynable? 310
I helpe all other of there infirmite,
But now to helpe myselfe I am not able;
