 :Decreed as seemes to me, That as the tablet and the stone,
 * Both knitt together be

Even by a string, the tablet like 245
 * To her, to me the stone,

So shall our love whill Atrope cutt
 * The threed, be knitt in one.

Thus have I redd my dreme ye see
 * With wise Apollos aide, 250

And if this be the verrie trueth
 * That I herin have saide,

Then am I gladd of such a guesse,
 * Bot if I be deceav'd,

And in the opening of a dreame 255
 * Have ather dream'd or reav'd

Yett wellcume be a gladd deceate,
 * For as into my sleepe,

My dreame deceaved me, so my guesse,
 * In gladnes doth me keepe. 260

Now may ye see o Titan mine,
 * No distance far of place,

Nor other thoughts can out of me
 * The thought of you deface,

In absence are ye present still 265
 * And ever so in sight,

No wonder is, what Monarch may
 * Resist a womans might.

[XVIII]

A SATIRE AGAINST WOEMEN


 * As falcons are by nature faire of flight

Of kinde as sparhalks far excells in speede As marlions have in springing greatest might
