| | | DIANA shineth in the heavens clear; | |
| Because from purest Sun she takes her light: | |
| And Fair, she shews that of DIANA here | |
| On Earth, doth borrow beauty passing bright. | |
| The virtue then that is infused in her, | 5 |
| She from DIANA hath; or else from none: | |
| For other thews do all in her concur; | |
| And unto her beholding are alone. | |
| O wonder strange of Nature to reveal! | |
| She, DIAN’ gives; yet doth from DIAN’ steal. Sienna. | 10 | | | |
