Lies the subject of all verse:
Sidney's sister, Pembroke's mother;
Death ere thou has slain another,
Fair, and learned, and good as she,
Time shall throw a dart at thee.

For stars, gaze on our eyes.
The compass love shall hourly sing,
And as he goes about the ring,
We will not miss
To tell each point he nameth with a kiss.

Nor Flora's pride!
In thee all flowers and roses spring,
Mine only died.
