| | | NOW Loue triumphed hauing got the day, | |
| Proudly insulting, tyrannizing still: | |
| As Hawke that ceazeth on the yeelding pray, | |
| So am I made the scorne of Victors will. | |
| Now eies with teares, now hart with sorrow fraught, | 5 |
| Hart sorrowes at my watry teares lamenting: | |
| Eyes shed salt teares to see harts pining thought, | |
| And both that then loue scornd are now repenting. | |
| But all in vaine too late I pleade repentance, | |
| For teares in eies and sighs in hart must weeld me: | 10 |
| The feathered boy hath doomd my fatall sentence, | |
| That I to tyrannizing Loue must yeeld me. | |
| And bow my necke erst subiect to no yoke, | |
| To Loues false lure (such force hath beauties stroke). | | | | |
