2. When fortune, loue, and time attend on

Her Courage shall shew my inward faith, and faith shall trie my loue.

Her with my fortunes, loue, and time, I honour will alone,
If bloudlesse enuie say, dutie hath no desert.
Dutie replies that enuie knowes her selfe his faithfull heart,
My setled vowes and spotlesse faith no fortune can remoue,
