For falshood now doth flow And subjeft faith doth ebbe , Which would not be , if reason rul d , Or wisdom wev'd the webbe . But clowdes of tois untried Do cloake aspiring mindes , turne to rai of late repent
Which gne , By course of changed wmdes . The toppe of hope supposed The root of Ruth will be , And fruitlesse all their grafted guiles , As shortly ye shall see .
Then dazelld eyes with pride . Which great ambition blinds , Shal be unseel'd by worthy wights , Whose foresight falshood finds . The daughter of debate , That eke discord doth sowe , where former rule
Shal reap no gaine , Hath taug ht still peace to growe . No forreine banisht wight Shall ancre in this port ; Our realme it brookes no stranger s force , Let them elsewhere resort .
Our rusty sworde with rest Shall first his edge employ , To poll their tops that seek such change , And gape for ( such like ) joy .
To Delia.
TO DELIA .
WITH envious stroke , let Fortune still cut down . The sweetest hope , the fondest love can frame , Constant in nought but her capricious frown ; Fortune may change * but DELIA is the same . Let Absence , clad in darkest garb of Woe , ' torn heart with it cannot name
Press the pangs , While sad Remembrance doubles ev'ry blow i Joy may be lost , but D ELIA is the same . I et fell Despair rush eager for its prize , _ And mark my bosom for it ' s certain aim ; Firm and unconquer'd by the dart I rise ; Despair must fly , while DELIA is the same . _ P Absenceand Despair
T JSLove ! throug h Fortune , , Assert thy pow ' r , and guard a fcuthful Pair . - Q
