Woe to Venus which did nurse thee | B |
Heauen and earth thy plagues doe proue | C |
Gods and men haue cause to curse thee | B |
What art thou but th' extreamst madnesse | D |
Natures first and only error | C |
That consum'st our daies in sadnesse | D |
By the minds Continuall terror | C |
Walking in Cymerian blindnesse | D |
In thy courses voy'd of reason | E |
Sharp reproofe thy only kindnesse | D |
In thy trust the highest treason | E |
Both the Nymph and ruder swaine | F |
Vexing with continuall anguish | G |
Which dost make the ould complaine | F |
And the young to pyne and languishe | G |
Who thee keepes his care doth nurse | D |
That seducest all to folly | B |
Blessing bitterly doest curse | D |
Tending to destruction wholly | B |
Thus of thee as I began | F |
So againe I make an end | H |
Neither god neither man | F |
Neither faiery neither feend | H |

What is Loue but the desire | C |
Of the thing that fancy pleaseth | B |
A holy and resistlesse fier | C |
Weake and strong alike that ceaseth | B |
Which not heauen hath power to let | H |
Nor wise nature cannot smother | C |
Whereby Phoebus doth begette | H |
On the vniuersall mother | C |
That the euerlasting Chaine | F |
Which together al things tied | H |
And vnmooued them retayne | F |
And by which they shall abide | H |
That concent we cleerely find | H |
All things doth together drawe | I |
And so strong in euery kinde | H |
Subiects them to natures law | A |
Whose hie virtue number teaches | D |
In which euery thing dooth mooue | J |
From the lowest depth that reaches | D |
To the height of heauen aboue | K |
Harmony that wisely found | H |
When the cunning hand doth strike | L |
Whereas euery amorous sound | H |
Sweetly marryes with his like | L |
The tender cattell scarcely take | M |
From their damm's the feelds to proue | C |
But ech seeketh out a make | M |
Nothing liues that doth not loue | A |
Not soe much as but the plant | H |
As nature euery thing doth payre | C |
By it if the male it want | H |
Doth dislike and will not beare | C |
Nothing then is like to loue | A |
In the which all creatures be | K |
From it nere let me remooue | J |
Nor let it remooue from me | J |
