Cruell Deceit.
Scarse had the Sunne dride up the deawy morne,
And scarse the herd gone to the hedge for shade:
When Cytherea (all in love forlorne)
A longing tariance for Adonis made
Vnder an Osyer growing by a brooke,
A brooke, where Adon us'd to coole his spleene:
Hot was the day, she hotter that did looke
For his approach, that often there had beene.
Anon he comes, and throwes his Mantle by,
And stood starke naked on the brookes greene brim:
The Sunne look't on the world with glorious eye,
Yet not so wistly, as this Queene on him:

-- --


He spying her, bounst in (whereas he stood)
Oh Iove (quoth she) why was not I a flood?
