And Eagle like on Theatis back to flee
Wher she commaunded Neptune for to be
10My Princely guard and Triton to attend
On artificial flying ooars of tree
Wherin I resting ranne to journeys end
Then since your fame hath made me flie before
Well may your name my verses nou decore

The Cheviott hills doe with my state agree
In everie point excepting onelie one
For as there toppes in cloudes are mounted hie
So all my thoughts in skies be higher gone
5 There foote is fast, my faithe a stedfast stone
From them discends the christall fontains cleare
And from mine eyes butt fained[1] force and mone
Hoppes trickling teares with sadd and murnefull cheare
From them great windes doe hurle with hiddeous beir
10 From me deepe sighs, greate flocks of sheepe they feede
I flockes of love, no fruicts on them appeare
My houpe to me no grace can bring or breede
In these alike, in this we disagree
That snowe on them, and flames remaines in me.

As man, a man am I composed all
Of brethren foure which did this worlde compone
Yett unto me doth suche a chance befall
As I of mankind all am he alone
5 Who of the foure possesseth onlie one
My flames of love to firie heaven be past
My aire in sighs evanish'd is and gone
My moysture into teares distilling fast
Now onelie earthe remaines with me at last
10 That am denuded of the other three
