Ne yet thy sickenesse such I see as should me moue to pity thee His reply Let pity then regard procure where is at al no due desart And lend some comfort for to cure the sicke that pines in secret smart And then will reason iustly say that you are noble euery way Her aunsweare No sir reason dooth giue you say of right reward to due desart Then if that you can showe some way for to deserue some ease of smart Doubt not but pitie will procure some kinde of salue your sore to cure His reply I thinke good Lady I deserue in that in deede I doo desire And if the poore man that dooth serue by reason may reward require Then both by reason and desart I may craue pitie for my part Her aunsweare In that you doo in deede desire your truth is for to be regarded And reason lykewise doth require that seruyce true shoulde be rewarded And pitty sayth the poorest man must be relieued now and than His reply In humble wise then I desire regarde my truth rewarde the same Let humble reason eke require your fauour so deserude faire Da●e And pity me poore man God wot that liues alas but ioieth not Her Aunswere and so an ende Then thus I graunte thee thy desire my fauour friendely what I may But if that further you require by reason I muste say you nay Til pity moue me to regarde to giue a poore man his rewarde Finis ¶ Now this Gentileman one day standing in a greate muze of his Mystris and in a straunge perplexity for the loue of her sodeinly starte oute of his study and beyng alone in his Chamber tooke Pen and Incke and Paper and in halfe a madde moode wrote vpon the state of louers which I hauing some acquaintaunce with hym one daye comming in to his Chamber founde lynge in his window which hauing read ouer I bare in mynde as I coulde yet hauyng almoste forgotten it my Muse brought it agayne to my remembraunce and made me wryte as foloweth which though it were imperfect and not full finished yet for that it somwhat likde me I haue heere placed it with other imperfections OH bitter bale that wretched louers bide now well now il now vp now downe agayne Now clime now fall now stand now backewarde slide now ioye with hope now faynt with feare againe Now simile now sigh now sing now seeme to crye now well in health now sicke now liue now dye And as their ioyes by diuers meanes arise euen so their griefes of sundry causes growe Some ioye to gaze vpon their Ladies eies and thinke in deede they make a heaunely showe Some more doo marke the feature of their face some most will view her comely gallant grace Some greatly note the colour of her heare some view her body some her hart some arme Some legge some foote and some looke euery where but how now soft why fayth I meane no harme I doo but speake of louers day delyght for in the darke you know there is no syght Now as their ioyes so see what sorowes spring euen of those things that wrought the hartes delight First from the eies which as to some they bring a heaunely ioye so breede they others spight For all one face can as wel laugh as lowre by which such lookes it yeeldes both sweete and sowre For proofe alas my seely selfe I vowe a smiling looke dooth much my hart reuiue And let me see my Lady knit her brow that frowne my hart into despayre dooth driue Thus to be briefe my mystris only eye may make the meane to make me liue or dye Finis ¶ Not long after he had written these verses his Mystris vpon a coy conceit began to frowne on him and giue him very euill countenance which he perceyuing made many meanes to moue her to pity but when nothing would serue his turne he in great griefe one day sytting alone in his Chamber wrote in lamenting verse these lines following which being my chance to read my Muse brought me now in remembrance of and wild me to write as foloweth IF wailfull woordes myght any pity mooue or sighes or sobbes or dayly bitter teares Then myght my bale bewray to my beh●oue the wretched state wherein my lyfe it weares But what will me preuayle to shewe my griefe when I am sure to dye without reliefe For peeuish pride possesseth pityes place and rigor rules where sweete remorse did raygne Disdayne is growne so great with beaulties grace that humble sute can now no fauour gayne A froward change more pitie God he knowes that gentle dames should growe such stately shrowes But since the worlde is growne to such a passe that courtesie is chaungd to crueltie And malice lurkes where open meekenes was ●nd frownes doo stand for friendly amitie I must aye me perforce content remayne vntill the world doo change ane we agayne Or els be sure to keepe my selfe aloofe where Bullet shot of big lookes flee I see Or armour make of patience of proofe to breake their force that may happe light on me And when I see that all the shot are past then liue in hope that shee will yeeld at last Finis ¶ Not many dayes after this youth languishing dayly for lacke of his Mistris loue willing to let his Mistris vnderstand of the woe he abode and daylye lyude in for her sake One daye in Verse he wrote his mynde vnto her And founde meanes to delyuer it vnto her Which how shee receiude or requited I must not reueale let it suffice that I onelye came by the Verses and that fryendlye I lende them you to reade which ar these that followe BEhold I craue oh noble dame no feigned painted tale but read in deede a true discourse of the most bitter bale That euer any man abode since first the world began which wretched state alas is ●●ine and I that woful man. I can not showe in kinde the summe of all my smart no pen can paint nor tongue can tell the tormentes of my hart No hart almost can thinke nor mynd conceaue but mine how there should growe such passing pangs as those wherein I pine But my poore hart doth feele minde conceaues to wel although my tongue doth want the skill in order how to tell Yet thus much I can saye no bale but I abide no pleasure that in all the world but is to me denide And if aboue all griefes a secret griefe there be that restes in one odde man alone that sure doth rest in me And for to showe good proofe that it must needes be so my wretched state may witnes well in me a world of woe The ●aies I passe in dumpes in doleful dreames the nightes eche minute of an houre in mone quite voyde of al delightes My heauy hart is furst with sorrow so opprest as neuer restes but beates and throbbes within my woful brest And when in minde I tosse the tormentes of my harte I ●●gh I sobbe I

of sundry sorts being come home from the supper to his owne lodging sitting alone in his chamber hee compared the women with the comfites in verse as followeth NOt long agoe as I at supper sat whereas in deede I had exceeding cheere In order serude with choyce of this and that with Flaggons fild with wine and ale beere I did behold that well set out the rest a troupe of dames in braue attyre addrest Great was our cheare yet supper being done to furnish furth the table new agayne Of sundry sorts a banquet new begonne of Apples Peares Marmlade and Marchpayne Sucket sugarde Almondes and canded Plummes with many other prety 〈◊〉 And marking well ech prety daynty dish of comfittes sweete I gan great store behold For which I saw how many gan to fishe and at the last I was my selfe so bold Of euery sort to take vp two or three which from the boorde I bare away with me Now let the Comfittes in my pocket rest and let me view the company a while Of women kinde whose view did like me best how some could frowne and other sweetly smile Some could looke coy in halfe a skorneful wise and some would stare and same looke vnder eyes Some by sharpe nose would seeme to be a shrow and some more halfe a sheepe by countenance Some sulleine seemde by looking downe to lowe some gentle seemde by casting friendly glaunce Some seemed proude by looking too too hye and some would cast on all a friendly eye Now gan I gesse by outward countenance the disposition of eche deinty dame And though perhappes I missed some by chaunce I hit some right I doo not doubt the same But shall I tell of eche one what I gest no●ie for why fond tatling breedes vnrest But let them be such as they were by chaunce our banquet doone we had our musicke by And then you knowe the youth must needes goe daunce first Galiardes then Lar●us and H●idegy ●id lustie gallant all floures of the broome and then a hall for dauncers must haue roome And to it then with set and turne about chaunge sides and crosse and minse it like a hau●e Backeward and forward take handes the● in and out and now and then a litle holsome talke That none could heare close rounded in the eare well I say nought but much good sport was there Then myght my Minion heare her mate at will but God forgiue all such as iudge amisse Some men I knowe would soone imagin yll by secret spying of some knauish kisse But let them leaue such ielousie for shame dauncers must kysse the law allowes the same And when friends meete some mery signe must passe of welcomming vnto ech others syght And for a kisse that 's not so much alas Dauncers besydes may clayme a kisse of ryght After the daunce is ended and before but some will kisse vpon kisse that goes sore Why it may be they daunce the kissing daunce and then they must kisse oftentymes in deedee And then although they ouershoote by chaunce and kisse perhaps more often then they neede T is ouersight their skill perhappes is smal young Dauncers kisses must needes be borne withal Then let them kisse and coll and let me leaue to tatle so of kissing as I doo For some alas halfe angry I perceaue haue lost I thinke some friendly kisse or two And all by my fond pratling on the same for bashfaste folkes will seeldome kisse for shame But t is a sport to see some dauncers kisse some bluntly laye their Ladies on the lippes Some kissing smacke and thinke it not amisse some laye their handes vppon their Ladies hippes To make theyr arme an easy resting place whyle they may smouch theyr lady on the face Some deinty dames wil proudely turne theyr cheeke in skornefull wyse to eny man to kisse And then God wot young dauncer is to seek and knowes no way but turne her head to his Which kisse to them that kissing know in kinde dothe make them smyle and laugh to in theyr minde Now Courtiers some in dauncing vse to kisse but in what sort let them that list goe marke And I say nought but only this I wishe eche gallant youth or in the light or dark With his sweet soule conuenient place to kisse no more what why who is displeasde with this Faire Ladyes no young gallants such muche lesse olde Syrs yea why theyr kissing sweet is donne What though I know they can not but confesse and olde shaune Fryer wil kisse an vnshorne Numne Then for Gods sake let young folkes coll and kisse when oldest folkes will thinke it not amisse But what I had almost my self forgot to tel you on of this same gentle crue Some were alas with dauncing growne so hot as some must sit while other dauncde anew And thus forsoothe our dauncing helde vs on till midnight full hygh tyme for to be gon But too beholde the graces of eche Dame how some would daunce as though they did but walke And some would trippe as though one legge were lame and some woulde my●se it like a sparrow haulke And some woulde daunce vpright as eny bolt and some wolde ●eape and skippe lyk a young colt 〈◊〉 some would fige as though she had the Itche and some woulde bow halfe crooked in the Ioyntes And some woulde haue a tricke and some a twitche some shooke their armes as they had hong by poyntes With thousandes more that were to long to tell b●t made me laugh my hart sore I wot wel ●ut let them passe and now
