28163Torches are made to light, iewels to weare,

164Dainties to tast, fresh beautie for the vse,

165Herbes for their smell, and sappie plants to beare.

166Things growing to them selues, are growths abuse,

167 Seeds spring frō seeds, & beauty breedeth beauty,

168 Thou wast begot, to get it is thy duty.

29169Vpon the earths increase why shouldst thou feed,

170Vnlesse the earth with thy increase be fed?

171By law of nature thou art bound to breed,

172That thine may liue, when thou thy selfe art dead:

173 And so in spite of death thou doestsuruiue,

174 In that thy likenesse still is left aliue.

30175By this the loue-sicke Queene began to sweate,

176For where they lay the shadow had forsooke them,

177And Titan tired in the midday heate,

178With burning eye did hotly ouer-looke them,

179 Wishing Adonis had his teame to guide,

180 So he were like him, and by Venus side.

31181And now Adonis with a lazie sprite,

182And with a heauie, darke, disliking eye,

183His lowring browes ore-whelming his faire sight,

184Like mistie vapors when they blot the skie,

185 So wring his cheekes, cries, fie, no more of loue,

186 The sunne doth burne my face I must remoue.
