Not illustrated. 1879 Excerpt: ...of harts, Such liuely loue embrace, faith vertue graue, As Julie true for mate hir lise she gaue. Finis. To his frovvarde friende. THis is not solom Sophocles, In learned trade which treades, This is not hardie Hercules, That conquerd Hydras heads. Feare not his boustrous vantinge worde, Though he woulde seeme to braule, He will aduise his angrie sworde, On whom his strokes doo fall: Wordes be but winde, to purge his heate, His stomacke to abate, Wherein he shewes his manly feate, When most he seemes to prate. Time may aswage these choloricke somes, Where Hercles is so bolde, Thinke not good Hercles all are momes, When all thy cardes be tolde.

Farewell good hardie Hercules, As hardie as thou arte, Thou maiest be vext with litle Bees, Though greater be thy harte. Finis. A friendly salutation to his beloved.

For if greate riches couldc Encoplcd mates the more, I haue both seen, and liue as now, Wherein I might haue store. But naught I care the welth, Nor yet the gorgeous gainc. My handes and hart I only gene Thee only to obtaine: You only woulde I craue, Before all other wight. Before the sayrest proserde Nimphes, You most do me delight. Whose choyfe is now at will, To take or els refuse: And if it lay so much in me, You only woulde I chuse: Accept my proserde loue, As trust by truth may binde, If it thee please I am thine owne, 0 my approued friende. In worthy state to stay, 1 will f...
