Is it her
nature or is it her will,
to be so cruell to an
humbled foe?
if nature, then she may it mend with
skill,
if will, then she at will may will forgoe.
But if her nature and her wil be so,
that she will
plague the man that loues her most:
and take delight
t'encrease a wretches woe,
then all her natures
goodly guifts are lost.
And that same glorious
beauties ydle boast,
is but a bayt such wretches to
beguile:
as being long in her loues tempest tost,
she meanes at last to make her piteous spoyle.
O
fayrest fayre let neuer it be named,
that so fayre
beauty was so fowly shamed.
