Whose feeble limmes, can scarce the bodie staie:
This,
Who with the blisse of other pines awaie.
And what declares, her eating vipers broode?
That poysoned thoughtes, bee euermore her foode.
Her mourninge still, to see an others gaine.
And what is mente by snakes vpon her head?
The fruite that springes, of such a venomed braine.
But whie, her harte shee rentes within her brest?
It shewes her selfe, doth worke her owne vnrest.
Whie lookes shee wronge? bicause shee woulde not see,
An happie wight, which is to her a hell:
What other partes within this furie bee?
Her harte, with gall: her tonge, with stinges doth swell.
And laste of all, her staffe with prickes aboundes:
Which showes her wordes, wherewith the good shee woundes.
Vicinumque pecus grandius vber habet.

Macerat Inuidia ante
oculos illum esse potentem,
Illum adspectari, claro
qui incedit honore:
Ipsi se in tenebris volui,
canĂ³que queruntur.
