AMATORIA
[I]
A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE CONTRARY WYNDES THAT HINDERED
THE QUEENE TO COM TO SCOTLAND FROM DENMARKE[1]
From sacred throne in heaven Empyrick hie
A breathe divine in Poëts brests does blowe
Wherethrough all things inferiour in degrie
As vassalls unto them doe hommage showe
There songs enchants Apollos selfe ye knowe 5
And chaste Dianas coache can haste or staye
Can change the course of Planets high or lowe
And make the earthe obeye them everie waye
Make rockes to danse, huge hills to skippe and playe
Beasts, foules, and fishe to followe them allwhere 10
Though thus the heaven, the sea, and earthe obeye,
Yett mutins the midde region of the aire,
What hatefull Juno, yolus entiseth
Wherby contrarious Zephyre thus ariseth.
[II]
O cruell Cupide what a rutheles rage
What hatefull wrathe thou utterest upon me
No medicine my sicknesse may asswage
Nor cataplasme cure my wounde I see
Through deadlie shott alive I daylie dye 5
I frie in flammes of that envenomed darte
Which shotte me sicker in at[2] ather eye
Then fastned fast into my hoalit[3] harte
The fever hath infected everie parte
My bones are dried there marrowe melts awaye 10
