The Lover here essays to draw,
The wondrous counterfeits he saw
Painted along the garden wall.
Before our eyes doth he recall,
Lifelike, the semblance, form and fame
Of cach, and tells thereof the name.
And first, with lively pen, portrays
Of Hate the direful works and ways.
Herein the Dreamer's pen doth draw
The semblance of the dance he saw
And joined in, and relates how she,
Hight Courtesy, essays to be
His guide, and gently tells him who
Dance there, and all they say and do.
