Thy beaute therto dyd me sure arest.

Alas, wyth love, whan that it doth the please,

Thou mayest cease my care and my payne sone ease.

Alas! how sore maye I nowe bewayle

The pyteous chaunce whyche did me happe;

My ladyes lokes dyd me so assayle,

That sodaynly my herte was in a trap

By Venus caught, and wyth so sore a clap,

That through the greate stroke did perse:

Alas for wo I could not reverse!
