Intending with Diana for to hunt,

On Ida Mountaine top our skill to proue,

A golden Ball was trindled from aboue,

And on the Rinde was writ this Poesie,

Pvlcherimæ for which a while we stroue,

Each saying shee was fairest of the three,

When loe a shepheards Swaine not far away we see.

I spi'd him first, and spying thus bespake,

Shall yonder Swaine vnfolde the mysterie?
