By yielding up thy body to my will,

But thy unkindess shall his death draw out
To ling'ring sufferance.

To start into her face, a thousand innocent shames
In angel whiteness beat away those blushes,
And in her eye there hath appeared a fire
To burn the errors that these princes hold
Against her maiden truth.

I ask, that I might waken reverence,
And bid the cheek be ready with a blush
Modest as morning when she coldly eyes
The youthful Phoebus,
Which is that god in office, guiding men?

In the midst of brown was born,
Like red poppies grown with corn.
