F Musique and sweet Poetrie agree,

As they must needes (the Sister and the Brother)

Then must the Loue be great, twixt thee and mee,

Because thou lou'st the one, and I the other.

Dowland to thee is deare; whose heauenly tuch

Vpon the Lute, doeth rauish humaine sense:

Spenser to mee; whose deepe Conceit is such,

As passing all Conceit, needs no defence.

Thou lou'st to heare the sweete melodious sound,

That Phœbus Lute (the Queene of Musique) makes:

And I in deepe Delight am chiefly drownd,

When as himselfe to singing he betakes.

One God is God of Both (as Poets faigne)

One Knight loues Both, and Both in thee remaine.
