Friendly concord.
If Musicke and sweet Poetrie agree,
As they must needs (the Sister and the brother)
Then must the love be great twixt thee and me,
Because thou lov'st the one, and I the other.
Dowland to thee is deare, whose heavenly touch
Vpon the Lute, doth ravish humane sense:
Spencer to me, whose deepe Conceit is such,
As passing all conceit, needs no defence.
Thou lov'st to heare the sweet melodious sound,
That Phœbus Lute (the Queene of Musicke) makes,
And I in deepe delight am chiefly drownd,
When as himselfe to singing he betakes.

  One God is God of both (as Poets faine)
  One Knight loves Both, and both in thee remaine.
