1171This
silent warre of Lillies and of Ro
ses,
72Which
TARQVIN vew'd in her faire faces
field,
73In their pure rankes his traytor eye enclo
ses,
74Where lea
st betweene them both it
should be kild.
75The coward captiue vanqui
shed, doth yeeld
76 To tho
se two Armies that would let him goe,
77 Rather then triumph in
so fal
se a foe.
1278Now thinkes he that her husbands
shallow tongue,
79The niggard prodigall that prai
sde her
so:
80In that high taske hath done her Beauty wrong.
81Which farre exceedes his barren skill to
show.
82Therefore that prai
se which
COLATINE doth owe,
83 Inchaunted
TARQVIN aun
swers with
surmi
se,
84 In
silent wonder of
still gazing eyes.
1385This earthly
sain
ct adored by this deuill,
86Little
su

cteth the fal

87"For vn
staind thoughts do
seldom dream on euill.
88"Birds neuer lim'd, no
secret bu

89So guiltle
sse
shee
securely giues good cheare,
90 And reuerend welcome to her princely gue

91 Who

1492For that he colourd with his high e
state,
93Hiding ba
se
sin in pleats of Maie
stie:
94That nothing in him
seemd inordinate,
95Saue
sometime too much wonder of his eye,
96Which hauing all, all could not
satis
fie;
97 But poorly rich
so wanteth in his
store,
98 That cloy'd with much, he pineth
still for more.
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 gla
ssie 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.
