Loue forbid that through dissembling I should thriue,Or in praysing you, my selfe of truth depriue:Let not your high thoughts debaseA simple truth in me;Great is beauties grace,Truth is yet as fayre as ••hee.

Prayse is but the winde of pride if it exceedes,Wealth pris'd in it selfe no outward value needes.Fayre you are, and passing fayre,You know it, and 'tis true,Yet let none despayreBut to finde as fayre as you.
