1599But she that neuer cop't with straunger eies,

100Could picke no meaning from their parling lookes,

101Nor read the subtle shining secrecies,

102Writ in the glassie margents of such bookes,

103Shee toucht no vnknown baits, nor feard no hooks,

104 Nor could shee moralize his wanton sight,

105 More then his eies were opend to the light.

16106He stories to her eares her husbands fame,

107Wonne in the fields of fruitfull Italie:

108And decks with praises Colatines high name,

109Made glorious by his manlie chiualrie,

110With bruised armes and wreathes of victorie,

111 Her ioie with heaued-vp hand she doth expresse,

112 And wordlesse so greetes heauen for his successe.

17113Far from the purpose of his comming thither,

114He makes excuses for his being there,

115No clowdie show of stormie blustring wether,

116Doth yet in his faire welkin once appeare,

117Till sable Night mother of dread and feare,

118 Vppon the world dim darknesse doth displaie,

119 And in her vaultie prison, stowes the daie.
