Love
Epigram 18 (Pymer lou'de Talbot, Talbot loued him,)
From Chrestoleros (1598), Book 3
Love
Pymer lou'de Talbot, Talbot loued him,
Who loued best? both loued constantly.
Pymer with Talbot dy'd, Talbot with him.
Who dyed best? both dyed louingly.
Yet were I iudge for Talbot I should sitt,
Whose match in loue Pymer was, not in witt.
