II.

_Vpon the Faire Ethiopian, sent to a gentlewoman._

Lo here the faire Chariclea, in whom strove

So false a fortune and so true a love!

Now after all her toyles by sea and land,

O may she but arrive at your white hand!

Her hopes are crown'd; onely she feares that than

Shee shall appeare true Ethiopian.
