FAire proud
now tell me why should faire be proud;
Sith all
worlds glorie is but drosse vncleane:
and in the
shade of death it selfe shall shroud,
how euer now
thereof ye little weene.
That goodly Idoll now so
gay beseene,
shall doffe her fleshes borowd fayre
attyre:
and be forgot as it had neuer beene,
that many now much worship and admire.
Ne any then
shall after it inquire,
ne any mention shall thereof
remaine:
but what this verse, that neuer shall
expyre,
shall to you purchas with her thankles paine.
Faire be no lenger proud of that shall perish,
but that which shal you make immortall, cherish.
