And all eares worse than deaffe, that heard not out thy storie.

2 I said thou wert most faire, and so indeede thou art;

I said thou wert most sweete, sweete poyson to my hart;

I said my soule was thine, ô would I then had lied;

I said thy eyes were starres, thy breasts the milken way,

Thy fingers Cupids shafts, thy voice the Angels lay:

And all is said so well, that no man it denied.

3 But now that hope is lost, unkindnes kils delight,

Yet thought and speach do live, thought metamorphisde quite,

For rage now rules the reynes, which guided were by pleasure,
