Rhyme Scheme: ABABBCBCCDCDEEMY hungry eyes through greedy couetize | A |
Still to behold the obiect of theyr payne | B |
with no contentment can themselues suffize | A |
but hauing pine and hauing not complayne | B |
For lacking it they cannot lyfe sustayne | B |
and seeing it they gaze on it the more | C |
in theyr amazement lyke Marcissus vayne | B |
whose eyes him staru'd so plenty makes me pore | C |
Yet are myne eyes so filled with the store | C |
of that fayre sight that nothing else they brooke | D |
but loath the things which they did like before | C |
and can no more endure on them to looke | D |
All this worlds glory seemeth vayne to me | E |
and all theyr shewes but shadowes sauing she | E |
