Not Peer Reviewed
Fair Em (Quarto 1, 1593)
The Millers daughter
35Exit all but William and the Marques.
42Imagined on thy louely Maistres face,
43Made me abandon bodily regarde,
45Then gentle Marques tell me what she is,
48As iustly may giue place to myne,
49That if it be: my soule with honors wings
52Marques. Yf this be all renowned Conquerer:
53Aduance your drooping spirites, and reuiue
54The wonted courage of your Conquering minde,
56Is the true counterfeit of louelie Blaunch
57Princes and daughter to the King of Danes:
59Deserues another manner of defence
61Then Marques Lubeck any way presents.
62Therefore her vertues I resigne to thee,
64To be aduaunced and honoured to the full.
65Nor beare I this an argument of loue:
66But to renowne faire Blaunch my Soueraignes child,
67In euerie place where I by armes may do it.
William
