Tennant hath such might, that he to enter in is nere denied. I, in a little corner of my hart Doe liue, (quoth she) he hath the greatest part. _Diego_ wisht thys supper nere would end, (and yet he long'd to be in priuate place, To ruminate vpon his fairest friend, and to recount the beauties of her face) So wisht _Gyneura_, were neuer such two, That lou'd so deerely as these Louers doe. The gloomy Curtaines of the tongue-lesse night, were drawne so close as day could not be seene, Now leaden-thoughted _Morpheus_ dyms each sight, now, murder, rapes, and robberies begin: Nature crau'd rest, but restlesse Loue would none, _Diego_, Loues young prentice, thus gan mone. Oh heauens, what new-founde griefes possesse my mind, what rare impassionated fits be these?

There needes no blowes, quoth she, when foes doe yield, Oh cease, take thou the honor of the field. The valiant Greekes (faire Ilyons fatall Foes) their tedious ten yeres siedge for Spartaes Queen Nere thought so long; (yet long it was) as those loue-scorcht enamored (so restles) now ween This night to be; A night if spent in care, Seemes longer then a thousand pleasant are. Thus lay they sleeplesse, thoughtfull, euer thinking on sluggish humor of expected Morne, They thought that Louers eyes were neuer winking nor sleepe they e're in whom Loues newly borne.
