¶By. Where is my L. protector, I haue sent for these strawbe-(ries.
¶Ha. His Grace lookes cheerfully and smooth to day,
2020Theres some conceit or other likes him well,
¶When he doth bid good morrow with such a spirit.
¶I thinke there is neuer a man in christendome,
¶That can lesser hide his loue or hate then he:
¶For by his face straight shall you know his heart. 
2025Dar. What of his heart perceiue you in his face,
¶By any likelihood he shewed to day?
