wen:  
Triumphantly by worthy Peers  
whose famous deeds were known.  
Amids which troop was chose, Mal●erophus the fair:  
Which sight to see, brave beauties Nymphs,  
like Angels did prepare.  
But one among the crew,  
was Sillerae unkind:  
Whom to requite with severe doom,  
the Gods a way did find.  
So he who scorned love,  
had like for like ordained:  
The Knights on Steeds, with staff in hand,  
to just and sport attained.  
O cruel fate, and cursed state:  
Prepared, fast snared,  
For such a scornful mate.  
Her Sampler 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 out her cast:  
She hied, time spied,  
To wear her sorrows past.  
Upon a green willow, there hanged this Lady:  
A Tragical ending, believe me as may be.  
Malmerophus missing the sight of his Lover,  
went wandering hither and thither:  
And thought if he met her, with fair words to prove her,  
he did so, they met both together:  
With spirit all appalled, and colour clean changed,  
he cut down his Lady in vain:  
And found in the Sampler, the words which she feigned,  
that bread this great dolour and pain.  
H● made no more to do:  
But there he ended too.  
Her Sampler off he took:  
And so his life forsook.  
FINIS.
