Thou art as tiranous, so as thou art,
As those whose beauties proudly make them cruell; For well thou know'st to my deare doting hart Thou art the fairest and most precious Iewell. Yet in good faith some say that thee behold, Thy face hath not the power to make loue grone; To say they erre, I dare not be so bold, Although I sweare it to my selfe alone. And to be sure that is not false I sweare A thousand grones but thinking on thy face, One on anothers necke do witnesse beare Thy blacke is fairest in my iudgements place. In nothing art thou blacke saue in thy deeds, And thence this slaunder as I thinke proceeds.
