¶ Of Bayes and Willow.

SHewe forth your Bayes that boaste of swéete delightes,
For I ne may such blisfull hap attayne:
The Willow branche most fit for wofull wightes,
Beholde I beare, a badge of secret payne.
Which loe my sides enshryne, and shall doe still,
Till cruell Fate hath wrought on me her will.
