To PANDORA.
IN Arcadie sometime (as Sydne say's,)Demagoras a proud Lord did remaine,In whom no thing I marke that merits prayse,Saue that he seru'd Parthenia sweet with paine:But when he found she lou'd him not agane,With leprocie he did infect her face,Which caus'd the constant knight for to complaneBut not to change his loue in any case:Pandora faire his woose infect'd allaceWith leprocie of loathsome cold disdane,Bred by my foe, to further my disgrace:Yet neither fayth nor fancie shall refrane:Yea, were her face deform'd as it is faire,I should ay serue, though I should ay dispaire.
Fortuna potes inuita fecisse beatum,Quem velis.
