The forward violet thus did I chide,
Sweet theefe whence didst thou steale thy sweet that smels If not from my loues breath, the purple pride, Which on thy soft cheeke for complexion dwells? In my loues veines thou hast too grosely died, The Lillie I condemned for thy hand, And buds of marierom had stolne thy haire, The Roses fearefully on thornes did stand, Our blushing shame, an other white dispaire: A third nor red, nor white, had stolne of both, And to his robbry had annext thy breath, But for his theft in pride of all his growth A vengfull canker eate him vp to death. More flowers I noted, yet I none could see, But sweet, or culler it had stolne from thee.
