A womans face with natures owne hand painted,
Hast thou the Master Mistris of my passion, A womans gentle heart but not acquainted With shifting change as is false womens fashion, An eye more bright then theirs, lesse false in rowling: Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth, A man in hew all Hews in his controuling, Which steales mens eyes, and womens soules amazeth. And for a woman went thou first created, Till nature as she wrought thee fell a doting, And by addition me of thee defeated, By adding one thing to my purpose nothing. But since she prickt thee out for womens pleasure, Mine be thy love and thy loves use their treasure.
