One then another; first that ere did crave

Love by mute signes, and had no power to speake;

First that could make love faces, or could doe

To make his mistresse merry; or to wreake

Her anger on himselfe. Sinnes against kinde

They easily doe, that can let feed their minde

With outward beauty; beauty they in boyes and beasts do find 470
