“Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,
Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,
I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:”

“So fallen! so lost! the light withdrawn
Which once he wore!
The glory from his gray hairs gone
Forevermore!”
