his newly acquired bride
"And now Adonis, with lazy sprieht,
And with . heavy, dark, disliking eye,
His lowering brows, o'erwhelmins his fair sight,
Like misty vapors, when they blot the sky
Suurins his cheeks, cries Fie, no more of love;
The sun, doth burn my cheek; l must remove" I"
"Ah me, quoth Venus. young and 80 unkind:
What bare excuses max ct thou 10 be gone.
