Not faire, Adonis in his chiefest pride,

Did seeme more faire, then young Apollo seemed,

When he through th'aire inuisibly did glide,

T'obtaine his Loue, which he Angelike deemed;

Whom finding in her chamber all alone,

He thus begins t'expresse his piteous mone.

O fairest, faire, aboue all faires (quoth hee)

If euer Loue obtained Ladies fauour,

Then shew thy selfe compassionate to me,

Whose head surpriz'd with thy diuine behauior,
