Vertue, beautie, and speech, did strike, wound, charme,
My heart, eyes, eares, with wonder, loue, delight;
First, second, last, did binde, enforce, and arme,
His works, showes, suites, with wit, grace, and vow's might.
Thus honour, liking, trust, much, farre, and deepe,
Held, pearst, possest, my iudgement, sense, and will,
Till wrong, contempt, deceit, did grow, steale, creepe,
Bands, fauour, faith, to breake, defile, and kill
Then griefe, vnkindnesse, proofe, tooke, kindled, thought,
Well-grounded, noble, due, spite, rage, disdaine;
But ah, alas, in vain my minde, sight, thought,
Doth him, his face, his words, leaue, shunne, refraine;
For no thing, time, nor place, can loose, quench, ease,
Mine owne, embraced, sought, knot, fire, disease.
