SO oft as I
her beauty doe behold,
And therewith doe her cruelty
compare:
I maruaile of what substance was the mould
the which her made attonce so cruell faire.
Not
earth; for her high thoghts more heauenly are,
not
water; for her loue doth burne like fyre:
not ayre;
for she is not so light or rare,
not fyre; for she
doth friese with faint desire.
Then needs another
Element inquire
whereof she mote be made; that is
the skye.
for to the heauen her haughty lookes
aspire:
and eke her mind is pure immortall hye.
Then sith to heauen ye lykened are the best,
be lyke
in mercy as in all the rest:
