Cura aut salutis———

[5243]The mighty Mars did oft for Venus shriek,

Privily moistening his horrid cheek

With womanish tears,———

[5244]———ignis distillat in undas,

Testis erit largus qui rigat ora liquor,

[5247]His sleep, his meat, his drink, in him bereft,

That lean he waxeth, and dry as a shaft,

His eyes hollow and grisly to behold,

His hew pale and ashen to unfold,
