[Poem III]
Did not the heauenly Rhetorike of thine eie,
Gainst whom the world could not hold argum&ebar;t,
Perswade my hart to this false periurie:
Vowes for thee broke deserue not punishment.
A woman I forswore: but I will proue
Thou being a Goddesse, I forswore not thee:
My vow was earthly, thou a heauenly loue,
Thy grace being gainde, cures all disgrace in me.
My vow was breath, and breath a vapor is,
Then thou faire Sun, that on this earth doth shine,
Exhale this vapor vow, in thee it is:
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
  If by me broke, what foole is not so wise
  To breake an Oath, to win a Paradise?
