27012546That, which long processe could not arbitrate.

27022547And though the mourning brow of progenie

27032548Forbid the smyling courtecie of Loue,

27042549The holy suite which faine it would conuince,

27052550Yet since Loues argument was first on foote,

27062551Let not the cloude of Sorrow iustle it

27072552From what it purposd, since to wayle friendes lost,

27082553Is not by much so holdsome profitable,

27092554As to reioyce at friendes but newly found.

27102555Quee. I vnderstand you not, my griefes are double.

27112556Bero. Honest plaine words, best pearce the eare of griefe,

27122557And by these badges vnderstand the King,

27132558For your faire sakes, haue we neglected time.

27142559Plaide foule play with our othes: your beautie Ladies

27152560Hath much deformed vs, fashioning our humours

27162561Euen to the opposed ende of our ententes.

27172562And what in vs hath seemed rediculous:

27182563As Loue is full of vnbefitting straines,

27192564All wanton as a childe, skipping and vaine.

27202565Formd by the eye, and therefore like the eye.

27212566Full of straying shapes, of habites and of formes:

27222567Varying in subiectes as the eye doth roule,

27232568To euery varied obiect in his glaunce:

27242569Which partie coted presence of loose loue

27252570Put on by vs, if in your heauenly eyes,

27262571Haue misbecombd our othes and grauities.

27272572Those heauenly eyes that looke into these faultes,

27282573Suggested vs to make, therefore Ladies

27292574Our loue being yours, the errour that Loue makes

27302575Is likewise yours: we to our selues proue false,

27312576By being once falce, for euer to be true

27322577To those that make vs both faire Ladies you.

27332578And euen that falshood in it selfe a sinne,

27342579Thus purifies it selfe and turns to grace.

27352580Quee. We haue receiud your Letters, full of Loue:

27362581Your Fauours, embassadours of Loue.

27372582And in our mayden counsaile rated them,

27382583At courtshyp pleasant iest and courtecie,
