❧Some other Gentlewomen in the compa∣ny, angry with this toye: pleasde with these prety verses follo∣wing,

AH be not angry so, my wordes were but in iest, And more then that, I ment them not, by you I doe protest. I saw no lookes to light, nor frowning ouermuch, Nor any such like sullein lookes, as might shew inward grutch. Nor smyling wantonly, but with such modesly, As might declare a merry minde, but with sobriety.

But such as séeme to pute, without iust cause in déede, Or else vpō their friends wil fayn, a frowning more then néede. Or giglet lyke will laugh, or else with anger swell, And deale in lookes disdaynfully, with them that wish them wel Gaynst such it is I wright, but none of you are namde, Then do not you accuse your selues, and you may go vnblamde. And this what I haue sayd, take well in worth therefore, If I did ill agaynst my will, I will doe so no more.
