# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/A poem, the title of which was on the lost leaf B. vj

[Leaf B. vj is wanting.]
So that his sorrowes importunate,
Had ended his life incontinent,
Had not Lady Venus grace, Lady Lady,
Pitied her poore seruants case,
My deer Ladie.
¶For when she saw the torments strong,
Wherewith the Knight was sore opprest,
Which he God knowes had suffered long,
Al through this Ladies mercilesse,
Of their desires she made exchange,
Ladie, Ladie.
And wrought a myracle most strange,
My deer Ladie.
¶So that this Ladie faithfully,
Did loue this Knight aboue all other:
And he vnto the contrarie,
Did hate her then aboue all measure,
And pitifull she did complaine: ladie, ladie.
Requiring fauour, and might not obtaine.
My deer ladie.
¶But when she saw, that in no case,
She might vnto his loue attaine:
And that she could not finde some grace,
To ease her long enduring paine,
And yat his hart wold not remoue, Lady, ladie
Without all cure [s]he died for loue,
My deer.[ladie.]
¶Besides these matters maruelous,
One other thing I wil you tell:
Of one whose name was Narcissus,
A man whose beautie doth excel.
Of natures gifts he had no misse, Lady, lady
He had ye whole of beauties blisse,
My deere.[ladie.]
¶So that out of manie a far Countrey,
I reade of manie a woman faire,
Did come this Narcissus to see,
Who perished when they came there, ​Through his default I say in fine, lady, lady
Who vnto loue would not incline.
My deer.[ladie.]
¶Whose disobedience vnto loue,
When vnto Venus it did appeare.
How that his hart would not remoue,
She punisht him as you shal heare:
A thing most strange forsooth it was,
Ladie, Ladie.
Now harken how it came to passe,
My deer.[ladie.]
¶For when he went vpon a daie,
With other mo in strange disguise,
Himself forsooth he did aray
In womans attire of a new deuise,
And ouer a bridge as he did go, Ladie, ladie.
In the water he sawe his own shadow,
My.[deer ladie.]
¶Which when he did perceiue and see,
A Ladie faire he saith it seemeth:
Forgat himself that it was he,
And iudgde that it was Dianaes Nymph,
Who in the waters in such fashion, Lady, la[dy]
Did vse themselues for recreation,
My deer.[ladie.]
¶And through the beautie of whose looks,
Taken he was with such fond desire,
That after manie humble sutes,
Incontinent he did aspire.
Vnto her grace him to refer, Ladie, Ladie
Trusting yat mercie was in her,
My deer, &c.
¶With armes displaid he took his race,
And leapt into the riuer there,
And thought his Ladie to imbrace, ​Being of himselfe, deuoid of feare,
And there was drownd without redresse, Ladie, Ladie.
His crueltie rewarded was,
with such follie.
¶Loe, hereby you may perceiue,
How Venus can, and if she please,
Her disobedient Subiects grieue,
And make them drinke their owne disease,
Wherfore rebel not I you wish, Lady, lady.
Least that your chaunce be worse than this,
if worse may be.
Finis.

Vch bitter fruict thy loue doth yeelde,
Such broken sleepes, such hope vnsure,
Thy call so oft hath me beguilde.

Yet thou a cruell Tigers whelpe,
All slaiest the hart, whom thou maist help.

And Tigers milke sure was thy foode,
VVherby Dame Nature broought to passe,
That like the Nurse should be thy moode:

The Fisher not so oft beguiles:
As thou hast luld my simple eares,
To here sweet words full fraught with wiles,
that I may say, as I do prooue,
VVo worth the time, I gan to loue.
¶Sith thou hast vowd to worke my wrack
And hast no will my wealth to way:
Farewell vnkinde, I will keepe backe,
Such toyes as may my helth decay:
and still will cry as I haue cause.

A proper sonet, Intituled: I smile to see how you deuise. To anie pleasant tune.
Smile to see how you deuise,
New masking nets my eies to bleare:
your self you cannot so disguise:
But as you are, you must appeare.
¶your priuie winkes at boord I see,
And how you set your rouing mind:
your selfe you cannot hide from me,
Although I wincke, I am not blind.
¶The secret sighs and fained cheare,
That oft doth paine thy carefull brest:
To me right plainly doth appeare,
I see in whom thy hart doth rest.
¶And though thou makest a fained vow,
That loue no more thy heart should nip,
yet think I know as well as thou,
The fickle helm doth guide the ship.
¶The Salamander in the fire,
By course of kinde doth bathe his limmes:
The floting Fish taketh his desire,
In running streams whereas he swimmes.
¶So thou in change dost take delight,
Ful wel I know thy slipperie kinde:
In vaine thou seemst to dim my sight,
Thy rowling eies bewraieth thy minde.
¶I see him smile that doth possesse
Thy loue which once I honoured most:
If he be wise, he may well gesse,
Thy loue soon won, wil soon be lost.
​¶And sith thou canst no man intice,
That he should stil loue thee alone:
Thy beautie now hath lost her price,
I see thy sauorie s[c]ent is gone.
¶Therefore leaue off thy wonted plaie,
But, as thou art, thou wilt appeare,
Ynlesse thou canst deuise a waie,
To dark the Sun that shines so cleare.
¶And keep thy friend that thou hast won,
In trueth to him thy loue supplie,
Least he at length as I haue done,
Take off thy Belles and let thee flie.

A sorrowfull Sonet, made by M. George Mannington, at Cambridge Castle.
To the tune of Labandala Shot.
Waile in wo, I plunge in pain, with sorowing sobs, I do complain, With wallowing waues I wish to die, I languish sore whereas I lie, In feare I faint in hope I holde, With ruthe I runne, I was too bolde: As lucklesse lot assigned me, in dangerous dale of destinie: Hope bids me smile, Feare bids me weep, My seelie soule thus Care doth keep.
¶Yea too too late I do repent, the youthful yeares that I haue spent, The retch lesse race of carelesse kinde, which hath betwitcht my woful minde. Such is the chaunce, such is the state, Of those that trust too much to fate. No bragging boast of gentle blood, What so he be, can do thee good: No wit, no strength, nor beauties hue, No friendly sute can death eschue.
​¶The dismall day hath had his wil, And iustice seekes my life to spill: Reuengement craues by rigorous law, Whereof I little stood in awe: The dolefull doom to end my life, Bedect with care and worldlie strife: And frowning iudge hath giuen his doome. O gentle death thou art welcome: The losse of life, I do not feare, Then welcome death, the end of care.
¶O prisoners poore, in dungeon deep, Which passe the night in slumbring sleep: Wel may you rue your youthful race. And now lament your cursed cace. Content your selfe with your estate, Impute no shame to fickle fate: With wrong attempts, increase no wealth, Regard the state of prosperous health: And think on me, when I am dead: Whom such delights haue lewdly led.
¶My friend and parents, where euer you be Full little do you thinke on me: My mother milde, and dame so deer: Thy louing childe, is fettred heer: Would God I had, I wish too late, Been bred and borne of meaner estate: Or else, would God my rechlesse eare, Had been obedient for to heare, Your sage aduice and counsel true: But in the Lord parents adue.
¶You valiant hearts of youthfull train, Which heard my heauie heart complain: A good example take by me, Which runne the race where euer you be: trust not too much to bilbow blade, nor yet to fortunes fickle trade. ​Hoist not your sailes no more in winde, Least that some rocke, you chaunce to finde, or else be driuen to Lybia land, whereas the Barque may sinck in sand.
¶You students all that present be, To view my fatall destinie, would God I could requite your pain, wherein you labour, although in vain, if mightie God would think it good, to spare my life and vitall blood, For this your profered curtesie, I would remaine most stedfastly, Your seruant true in deed and word, But welcome death as please the Lord.
¶Yea welcome death, the end of woe, And farewell life, my fatall foe: Yea welcome death, the end of strife, Adue the care of mortall life, For though this life doth fleet away, In heauen I hope to liue for ay: A place of ioy and perfect rest, Which Christ hath purchaste for the best: Til that we meet in heauen most hiest: Adue, farewell in Iesu Christ.

wheare gases be not geason:
And I goe gaping euery where,

Nor twentie Bushels on a heape,

by any meanes to make it,
I could for Money buy it than,
