59 To his Love that sent him a Ring wherein was gravde, Let Reason rule
Shall Reason rule where Reason hath no right?
Nor never had? shall Cupid loose his landes?
His claim? his crown? his kingdome? name of might
And yeeld himselfe to be in Reasons bandes?
5 No, (Friend) thy Ring doth wil me thus in vaine,
Reason and Love have ever yet beene twaine.
They are by kinde of such contrarie mould
As one mislikes the others lewde devise,
What Reason willes Cupido never would,
10 Love never yet thought Reason to be wise.
To Cupid I my homage earst have donne,
Let Reason rule the harts that she hath wonne.
