And undermines thy kingdom euerie howre;[°]
How slye he creepes betwixt[°] the barke and tree,
And sucks the sap, whilst sleepe detaineth[°] thee.
He is my Mistris page at euerie stound[°],
And soone will tent[°] a deepe intrenched wound.
He wayte's on Courtlie Nimphs that be so[°] coye,
And bids them skorne the blynd-alluring[°] boye.
He giues yong guirls their gamesome sustenance[°],
And euerie gaping mouth his full sufficeance.
He fortifies disdaine with forraine[°] artes,
