SIR THOMAS WORTLEY'S SONNET ANSWERED.

[THE SONNET.

I.

No more

Thou little winged archer, now no more

As heretofore,

Thou maist pretend within my breast to bide,

No more,

Since cruell Death of dearest LYNDAMORE

Hath me depriv'd,

I bid adieu to love, and all the world beside.

II.

Go, go;

Lay by thy quiver and unbend thy bow

Poore sillie foe,

Thou spend'st thy shafts but at my breast in vain,

Since Death

My heart hath with a fatall icie deart

Already slain,

Thou canst not ever hope to warme her wound,

Or wound it o're againe.]
