<poem>
In the highest way of heav’n the Sunne did ride,
:Progressing then from faire twinnes’ gold’n place:
:Having no scarfe of clowds before his face,
But shining forth of heate in his chiefe pride;
When some faire Ladies, by hard promise tied, {{ln|5}}
:On horsebacke met him in his furious race,
:Yet each prepar’d, with fanne’s wel-shading grace,
From that foe’s wounds their tender skinnes to hide
Stella alone with face unarmed marcht,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Either to do like him, which open shine, {{ln|10}}
:Or carelesse of the wealth because her owne:
Yet were the hid and meaner beauties parcht,
:Her daintiest bare went free; the cause was this,
:The Sunne which others burn’d, did her but kisse.
</poem>
