¶Montanus Sonnet.

WHen the dogge Full of rage With his irefull eyes Frownes amidst the skies:

Page [unnumbered]

The Sheepheard to asswage The furie of the heate, Him selfe dooth safely seate By a Fount Full of faire, Where a gentle breath Mounting from beneath, tempereth the ayre. There his flocks Drinke their fill, And with ease repose, While sweet sleepe doth close Eyes from toyling ill, But I burne, Without rest, No defensiue power Shields from Phoebus lower, sorrow is my best. Gentle Loue Lower no more, If thou wilt inuade In the secret shade, Labour not so sore I my selfe And my flocks, They their Loue to please, I my selfe to ease, Both leaue the shadie Oakes, Content to burne in fire, Sith Loue dooth so desire.

S. E. D.

FINIS.
