The honourable historie of Frier Bacon.
686And lockt him in the brightnesse of her lookes,
687Was not so beautious in Appollos eyes,
688As is faire Margret to the Lincolne earle,
689Recant thee Lacie thou art put in trust,
692And darest thou wrong thy Prince with trecherie.
693Lacie, loue makes no acception of a friend,
694Nor deemes it of a Prince, but as a man:
695Honour bids thee controll him in his lust,
696His wooing is not for to wed the girle,
697But to intrap her and beguile the lasse:
699But wed her, and abide thy Princes frowne:
702How cheere you sir, a penie for your thought:
703Your early vp, pray God it be the neere,
708My minde hath felt a heape of passions.
710Woo you still for the courtier all in greene.
713But when mine eies suruaid your beautious lookes
714Loue like a wagge, straight diued into my heart,
716Pittie me though I be a farmers sonne,
717And measure not my riches but my loue.
