As yeares increase, so beauty doth likewise,
And is more faire tomorrow then to day,
His beauty more & more continuall doth arise,
That enuy did delight, in him bewray,
As _Venus_ fell in loue with him at last,
Who did reuenge his mothers lusting past.
_FINIS._
Transcriber's Notes:
Passages in italic font are indicated by _italic_.
Passages in bold font are indicated by =bold=.
Elongated "s" has been modernized.
The use of "VV" in place of "W" is intentional to represent the
appearance of the original text.
Letters printed in the original text with macrons are indicated by [=x].
The macrons are used to indicate missing letters, either "m" or "n".
Additional spacing after some of the quotes is intentional to indicate
both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as
presented in the original text.
Misprints corrected:
"Glancus" corrected to "Glaucus" (page XVII)
"he" corrected to "be" (page 102)
"Appollo" corrected to "Apollo" (page 134)
"haning" corrected to "hauing" (page 152)
Stanza number "85" corrected to "45" (page 187)
Stanza number "100" corrected to "102" (page 208)
"ber" corrected to "her" (page 212)
"hearr" corrected to "heart" (page 223)
Printing errors (such as unmatched quotation marks and parentheses,
inconsistent spelling, punctuation, and capitalization) have been
intentionally retained.
