Ne feare to stayne thy credit by my tale:

In Læthe’s floud, long since, in Stygian vale

Selfe loue I dreint:[1298] what time hath fynde for true,

And ceaseth not, though stale, still to renue,

Recount I wil: whereof bee this the[1299] proofe,

That blase I will my prayse, and my reproofe:

Wee naked ghostes are but the very man,

Ne of our selues more than wee ought, wee scan.
