I will I will: your reason? why, Ile tell,

Because time was, I loued Pyander well:

True loue indeed, wil hate loues black defame,

So loathes my soule to seeke Pyanders shame.

Oh but I feele the worme of conscience sting,

And summons me vpon my soule to bring

Sinfull Pyander into open viewe,

There to receiue the shame that will ensue.

Oh this sad passion of my heauie soule,

Torments my heart, and sences do controule:

Shame thou Pyander, for I can but shame,

The meanes of my amisse, by thy meanes came:

And shall I then procure eternall blame,

By secret cloaking of Pyanders shame,

And he not blush?

By heauen I will not, Ile not burne in hell,

For false Pyander though I lou'd him well:

No no, the world shall know thy villany

Least they be cheated with like rogery.

Walking the Cittie as my wonted vse,
