How by a kisse he found both his life and death.
NAture that gaue the Bee so feate a grace,
To finde hony of so wondrous fashion:
Hath taught the spider out of the same place
To fetche poyson by strange alteracion.
Though this be strange, it is a straunger case,
With one kisse by secret operacion,
Both these at once in those your lipps to finde,
In change wherof, I leaue my hart behinde.
