Penelope for
her Vlisses sake,
Deuiz'd a Web her wooers to
deceaue:
in which the worke that she all day did
make
the same at night she did againe vnreaue,
Such subtile craft my Damzell doth conceaue,
th'importune suit of my desire to shonne:
for all
that I in many dayes doo weaue,
in one short houre I
find by her vndonne.
So when I thinke to end that I
begonne,
I must begin and neuer bring to end:
for with one looke she spils that long I sponne,
&
with one word my whole years work doth rend.
Such
labour like the Spyders web I fynd,
whose fruitlesse
worke is broken with least wynd.
