Astrophel and Stella: 2

Not at the first sight, nor with a dribbed shotLoue gaue the wound, which while I breath will bleed:But knowne worth did in mine of time proceed,Till by degrees it had full conquest got.I saw and liked, I liked but loued not,I loued, but straight did not what Loue decreed:At length to Loues decrees, I forc'd, agreed,Yet with repining at so partiall lot,Now euen that footstep of lost libertieIs gone, and now like slaue-borne Moscouite,I call it praise to suffer Tyrannie;And now employ the remnant of my wit,To make meselfe beleeue, that all is well,While with a feeling skill I paint my hell.
