¶An excellent Sonnet of a Nimph.

VErtue, beautie, and speech, did strike, wound, charme, My heart, eyes, eares, with wonder, loue, delight: First, second, last, did binde, enforce, and arme, His works, showes, sutes, with wit, grace, and vowes-might:
Thus honour, liking, trust, much, farre, and deepe, Held, pearst, possest, my iudgement, sence, and will;

Page [unnumbered]

Till wrongs, contempt, deceite, did grow, steale, creepe, Bands, fauour, faith, to breake, defile, and kill.
Then griefe, vnkindnes, proofe, tooke, kindled, taught, Well grounded, noble, due, spite, rage, disdaine: But ah, alas, (in vaine) my minde, sight, thought, Doth him, his face, his words, leaue, shunne, refraine. For nothing, time, nor place, can loose, quench, ease: Mine owne, embraced, sought, knot, fire, disease.
FINIS.

S. Phil. Sidney.
