_Love, I found such felicitie, And joy, in thy captivitie: As I before did never prove, And thought me happy, being in Love._
_Comfort abounding in my hart, Joy and Delight In soule and spright I did possesse in every part; O Soveraigne Love by thee. Thy Sacred fires, Fed my desires, And still aspires, Thy happy thrall to bee. Love, I found such felicity, &c._
_My Song wants power to relate, The sweets of minde Which I did finde In that most blissefull state, O Soveraigne Love by thee. No sad despaire, Or killing care Could me prepare; Still thou didst comfort me. Love, I found such felicity, &c._
_I hate all such as do complaine, Blaspheming thee With Cruelty, And sleights of coy disdaine. O Soveraigne Love, to mee Thou hast bene kinde: If others finde. Thee worse inclinde, Yet I will honour thee._
_LOVE, I found such felicitie, And joy in thy Captivitie: As I before did never prove, But thought me happie, being in Love._

And although they were transported with variety of imaginations; yet none of them could arrive** at his true meaning indeed. Wherefore the Queene, perceiving the Song to be fully ended, and the Ladies, as also the young Gentlemen, willing to go take their rest: she commaunded them severally to their Chambers.
_Whereon, under the Government of Madame_ ÆMILLIA, _the Argument of each severall Discourse, is not limitted to any one peculiar subject: but every one remaineth at liberty, to speak of whatsoever themselves best pleaseth._
Faire _Aurora_, from whose bright and chearefull lookes, the duskie darke night flyeth as an utter enemy, had already reached so high as the eight Heaven, converting it all into an Azure colour, and the pretty Flowrets beganne to spred open their Leaves: when Madame _Æmillia_, beeing risen, caused all her female attendants, and the yong Gentlemen likewise, to be summoned for their personall appearance. Who being all come, the Queen leading the way, and they following her Majesticke pace, walked into a little Wood, not farre off distant from the Palace.
