wen : Triumphantlie by worthie Peeres whose famous deedes were knowen . Amids which troupe was chose , Mal●erophus the faire : Which sighte to see , braue beauties Ni●phes , like Angels did prepare . But one among the crewe , was Sillerae vnkinde : Whom to requite with seuere doome , the Gods a way did finde . So he who scorned loue , had like for like ordaind : The Knightes on Steedes , with staffe in hande , to Iuste and sporte attaind . O cruell fate , and cursed state : Preparde , fast snarde , For such a scornefull mate . Her Sampler 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 out her cast : She hied , time spied , To weare her sorrowes past . Vpon a greene willowe , there hanged this Ladie : A Tragicall ending , beleeue me as may be . Malmerophus missing the sight of his Louer , went wandring hether and thether : And thought if he met her , with faire words to proue her , he did so , they met both together : With sprite all appalled , and colour cleane changed , he cut down his Lady in vayn : And found in the Sampler , the words which she fayned , that bread this great dolour and payn . H● made no more to doo : But there he ended too . Her Sampler off he tooke : And so his life forsooke . FINIS .
