Foul precurrer of the fiend,
Augur of the fever's end,
To this troop come thou not near!

'Twixt the turtle and his queen:
But in them it were a wonder.

That the self was not the same;
Single nature's double name
Neither two nor one was called.

Beauty brag, but 'tis not she;
Truth and beauty buried be.
