To PENELOPE.

WHen stately Troy by subtill Sinons guile, And Grecian force was brought to last decay, Ʋlisses braue with faire and facund stile, Achilles Arm's obtaind, and went away: In Afrike yet he was constraind to stay: For when his friends did taste of Lotus trie, As Homers works do more at length bewray, They green'd no more the Greekish soyle to see. So fares with mee, O most vnhapie mee, Since I beheld thy faire and heauenlie hew, The glorious rayes of thy all conquering eye, My rendering heart and soule did so subdew, That for thy sake, whom euer serue I shall, I haue forgot my selfe, my soyle, and all.
