She bewaileth Vlysses long tarrying.
HOw doth Vlysses time detract?How doth he play the cosoning knight,He writes Troy is alreadie sack't,Yet wil he not appeare in sight.I feare me he hath caught some doue,And keepes her tame, with tills of loue.
I would I wist he false did play,Of spight I would reuenged be:But then what would the people say?As is the hee, so is the shee:No, no, the care I absent take,His presence wil the sweeter make.
Nor wealth, nor woe▪ nor enuies crosse,Nor griefe, nor gaine, nor fortunes fall:Nor paine, nor pleasure, lucke or losse,Nor treasure, nor yet wretched thrall,Shall make me my Vlysses loath.Nor to him false my faith and troath.
