To his Loue that sent him a Ring wherein was graude, Let Reason rule

SHall Reason rule where Reason hath no right?
Nor neuer had? shall Cupid loose his landes?
His claim? his crown? his kingdōe? name of might
And yéeld himselfe to be in Reasons bandes?
No, (Friend) thy Ring doth wil me thus in baine,
Reason and Loue haue euer yet béene twaine.
They are by kinde of such contrarie mould
As one mislikes the others lewde deuise,
What Reason willes Cupido neuer would,
Loue neuer yet thought Reason to be wise.
To Cupid I my homage earst haue donne.
Let Reason rule the harts that she hath wonne.
