— In one consort there sate Cruell reuenge, and rancorous despight, Disloyall treason, and heart-burning hate, But gnawing Iealouzie out of their sight Sitting alone, his bitter lips did bite, And trembling feare still too and fro did flie, And found no place where safe he shrowd him might. Lamenting sorrowe did in darkenesse lie, And shame his vgly face did hide from liuing eie. Ed. Sp.
Fresh Hyacinthus Phoebus paramoure, Foolish Narcisse that likes the watrie shore, Sad Amaranthus made a flowre of late. Idem.
