DOe I not see
that fayrest ymages
Of hardest Marble are of purpose
made?
for that they should endure through many ages,
ne let theyr famous moniments to fade.
Why then
doe I, vntrainde in louers trade,
her hardnes blame
which I should more co[m]mend?
sith neuer ought was
excellent assayde,
which was not hard t'atchiue and
bring to end.
Ne ought so hard, but he that would
attend,
mote soften it and to his will allure:
so doe I hope her stubborne hart to bend,
and that
it then more stedfast will endure.
Onely my paines
wil be the more to get her,
but hauing her, my ioy
wil be the greater.
