Their lived a Gallant, who Daiphantus hight.
Right nobly born, well lettered, loved, desired
Of every Courtier in their most delight:
So full of pleasance, that he seemed to be
A man begot in Venus' infancy.
His face was fair, full comely was his feature:
Lipped like the cherry, with a wanton's eye:
A Mars in anger, yet a Venus' creature;
Made part of Cynthia, most of Mercury:
A pitied soul, so made of Love and Hate,
