THOMAS TUSSER.
1523-1580.
_Moral Reflections on the Wind_.
Except wind stands as never it stood,
It is an ill wind turns none to good.
FULKE GREVILLE, LORD BROOKE.
1554-1624.
_Mustapha_. Act v. Sc. 4.
O wearisome condition of humanity!

Sonnet LVI.
And out of minde as soon as out of sight.

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE.
1565-1593.
_Hero and Leander_.
Who ever loved that loved not at first sight.
_The Passionate Shepherd to his Love_.
Come live with me, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves, and hills, and folds,
Woods, or steepy mountains, yield.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH.
1552-1618.
_The Nymph's Reply to the Passionate Shepherd_.
If all the world and love were young,
And truth in every shepherd's tongue,
These pretty pleasures might me move
To live with thee, and be thy love.
_The Silent Lover_.
Silence in love betrays more love
Than words, though ne'er so witty;
A beggar that is dumb, you know,
May challenge double pity.

JOSHUA SYLVESTER
1563-1618.
_The Soul's Errand_[3]
Go, Soul, the body's guest,
Upon a thankless errand!
Fear not to touch the best:
The truth shall be thy warrant.
