FAyre ye be
sure, but cruell and vnkind,
As is a Tygre that with
greedinesse
hunts after bloud, when he by chance
doth find
a feeble beast, doth felly him oppresse.
Fayre be ye sure but proud and pittilesse,
as is
a storme, that all things doth prostrate:
finding a
tree alone all comfortlesse,
beats on it strongly it
to ruinate.
Fayre be ye sure, but hard and
obstinate,
as is a rocke amidst the raging floods:
gaynst which a ship of succour desolate,
doth
suffer wreck both of her selfe and goods.
That ship,
that tree, and that same beast am I,
whom ye doe
wreck, doe ruine, and destroy.
