Satires.

The Fawnes and Satires from the tufted brakes Their brisly armes wreathd all about with snakes, Their horned heads with woodbine chaplets crownd With Cypresse Iauelings, and about their thies, The flaggy haire disordered loosely flies. M. Drayton.
Fresh shadowes fit to shrowd from sunny ray, Faire fawnes to take the sunne in season due,

Sweet springs in which a thousand bubbles play. Soft rombling brookes, that gentle slomber drew. High reared mounts, the lands about to vew. Low looking dales, disioynd from common game, Delightful bowres, to solace louers true. False Labyrinths, fond runners eyes to daze, All which by nature made, did natures selfe amaze. Ed. Spencer.
* Behind Cupid were reproach, repentance, shame, Reproach the first, shame next, repent behinde: Repentance feeble, sorrowfull and lame. Reproach despightfull, carelesse and vnkinde, Shame most il-fauoured, bestiall and blinde. Shame lowrd, repentance sighed, reproach did scold: Reproach sharpe, repentance whips entwinde, Shame burning Taper in her hand did hold, All three to each vnlike, yet all made in one mould. Idem.
* —Stearne strife and anger stout, Vnquiet care, and sad vnthriftie head: Lewd losse of time, and sorrow being dead, Inconstant change, and false disloyaltie, Consuming riotize and guiltie dread Of heauenly vengeance, faint Infirmitie, Vile pouertie, and lastly death with Infamie. Idem.
* His angry steed did chide his frowning bitte. Idem.

Rich Oranochye, though but knowne of late, And that huge Riuer which doth beare his name Of warlike Amazons, which do possesse the same. Ed. Spencer.
