Your owne deare sake forst me at first to leauelii

My Fathers kingdome, There she stopt with teares;

Her swollen hart her speach seemd to bereaue,

And then againe begun[68], My weaker yeares

Captiu’d to fortune and frayle worldly feares,

Fly to your faith for succour and sure ayde:

Let me not dye in languor and long teares.

Why Dame (quoth he) what hath ye thus dismayd?

What frayes ye, that were wont to comfort me affrayd?

Loue of your selfe, she said, and deare constraintliiiLets me not sleepe, but wast the wearie nightIn secret anguish and vnpittied plaint,Whiles you in carelesse sleepe are drowned quight.Her doubtfull words made that redoubted knightSuspect her truth: yet since no’vntruth[69]he knew,Her fawning loue with foule disdainefull spightHe would not shend, but said, Deare dame I rew,That for my sake vnknowne such griefe vnto you grew.

Loue of your selfe, she said, and deare constraintliii

Lets me not sleepe, but wast the wearie night

In secret anguish and vnpittied plaint,

Whiles you in carelesse sleepe are drowned quight.

Her doubtfull words made that redoubted knight

Suspect her truth: yet since no’vntruth[69]he knew,

Her fawning loue with foule disdainefull spight

He would not shend, but said, Deare dame I rew,

That for my sake vnknowne such griefe vnto you grew.

Assure your selfe, it fell not all to ground;livFor all so deare as life is to my hart,I deeme your loue, and hold me to you bound;Ne let vaine feares procure your needlesse smart,Where cause is none, but to your rest depart.Not all content, yet seemd she to appeaseHer mournefull plaintes, beguiled of her art,And fed with words, that could not chuse[70]but please,So slyding softly forth, she turnd as to her ease.

Assure your selfe, it fell not all to ground;liv

For all so deare as life is to my hart,

I deeme your loue, and hold me to you bound;

Ne let vaine feares procure your needlesse smart,

Where cause is none, but to your rest depart.

Not all content, yet seemd she to appease

Her mournefull plaintes, beguiled of her art,

And fed with words, that could not chuse[70]but please,

So slyding softly forth, she turnd as to her ease.

Long after lay he musing at her mood,lvMuch grieu’d to thinke that gentle Dame so light,For whose defence he was to shed his blood.At last dull wearinesse of former fightHauing yrockt a sleepe his irkesome spright,That troublous dreame gan freshly tosse his braine,With bowres, and beds, and Ladies deare delight:But when he saw his labour all was vaine,With that misformed spright he backe returnd againe.

Long after lay he musing at her mood,lv

Much grieu’d to thinke that gentle Dame so light,

For whose defence he was to shed his blood.

At last dull wearinesse of former fight

Hauing yrockt a sleepe his irkesome spright,

That troublous dreame gan freshly tosse his braine,

With bowres, and beds, and Ladies deare delight:

But when he saw his labour all was vaine,

With that misformed spright he backe returnd againe.
