- # VENYS AND ADONIS.
It shall be sparing, and too full of ryot,
Teaching decrepit age to tread the measures,
The staring rufian shall it keepe in quiet,
Pluck down the rich, in rich the poore with treasures,
It shall be raging mad, and sillie milde,
Make the yoong old, the old become a childe.
It shall suspect where is no cause of seare,
It shall not seare where it should most mistrust,
It shall be merciful, and too seare,
And most deceiving, when it seems most iust;
Peruerse it shall be, where it shows most toward,
Put seare to valour, courage to the coward.
It shall be cause of warre, and dire eisents,
And set dissention twixt the sonne, and fire,
Subiect, and seruill to all discontents:
As drie combustious matter is to fire,
Sith in his prime, death doth my loue destroy,
They that loue best, their loues shall not enioy.
By this the boy that by her side laie kild,
V Vas melted like a vapour from her sight,
And in his blood that on the ground laie spild,
A purple floure sproong vp, checkred with white,
Resembling well his pale cheeks, and the blood,
V V hich in round drops, vpō their whitenesse stood.
