Another woman into sighes and teares,
    A thing but seldome in your sexe and yeares,
    But when in you I haue perceiu’d agen,
    (Noted by me, more then by other men) 30
    How feeling and how sensible you are
    Of your friends sorrowes, and with how much care
    You seeke to cure them, then my selfe I blame,
    That I your patience should so much misname,
    Which to my vnderstanding maketh knowne
    Who feeles anothers griefe, can feele their owne. 
    When straight me thinkes, I heare your patience say,
    Are you the man that studied Seneca: 
    Plinies most learned letters; and must I
    Read you a Lecture in Philosophie, 40
    T’auoid the afflictions that haue vs’d to reach you;
    I’le learne you more, Sir, then your bookes can teach you. 
      Of all your sex, yet neuer did I knowe,
    Any that yet so actually could showe
    Such rules for patience, such an easie way,
    That who so sees it, shall be forc’d to say,
    Loe what before seem’d hard to be discern’d,
    Is of this Lady, in an instant learn’d. 
    It is heauens will that you should wronged be
    By the malicious, that the world might see 50
    Your Doue-like meekenesse; for had the base scumme,
    The spawne of Fiends, beene in your slander dumbe,
    Your vertue then had perish’d, neuer priz’d,
    For that the same you had not exercised;
    And you had lost the Crowne you haue, and glory,
    Nor had you beene the subiect of my Story. 
    Whilst they feele Hell, being damned in their hate,
    Their thoughts like Deuils them excruciate,
    Which by your noble suffrings doe torment
    Them with new paines, and giues you this content 60
    To see your soule an Innocent, hath suffred,
    And vp to heauen before your eyes be offred: 
    Your like we in a burning Glasse may see,
    When the Sunnes rayes therein contracted be
    Bent on some obiect, which is purely white,
    We finde that colour doth dispierce the light,
    And stands vntainted:  but if it hath got
    Some little sully; or the least small spot,
    Then it soon fiers it; so you still remaine
    Free, because in you they can finde no staine. 70
      God doth not loue them least, on whom he layes
    The great’st afflictions; but that he will praise
    Himselfe most in them, and will make them fit,
    Near’st to himselfe who is the Lambe to sit: 
    For by that touch, like perfect gold he tries them,
    Who are not his, vntill the world denies them. 
    And your example may work such effect,
    That it may be the beginning of a Sect
    Of patient women; and that many a day
    All Husbands may for you their Founder pray. 80
