I ioy to see how in your drawen work,
        Your selfe vnto the Bee ye doe compare;
        and me vnto the Spyder that doth lurke
        in close awayt to catch her vnaware.
Right so your selfe were caught in cunning snare
        of a deare foe, and thralled to his loue:
        in whose streight bands ye now captiued are
        so firmely, that ye neuer may remoue.
But as your worke is wouen all aboue,
        with woodbynd flowers and fragrant Eglantine:
        so sweet your prison you in time shall proue,
        with many deare delights bedecked fyne.
And all thensforth eternall peace shall see,
        betweene the Spyder and the gentle Bee.
