Vv. 51-54. Add. MS:

Of yo’ beauty death comes soone

And though his visage hung i'th° aire

Doth not to the sight appeare

At each warning heed as much

Know to th hearing as the touch. 50 Place then this mirror awhose briske hue

Of lines and colo make them scorne

This livery «x the Greeke hath avorne

Let them read this booke and learne 55 Their ayry coulors to discerne

Twixt this and them this Gorgon showne

Turned the beholders into stone.

Doth not 50 to the sight appeare

At each warning #here’s as much Knowne ? the hearing and the touch.

And though his visadge hung ith’ eare Doth not to the sight appeare

At each warning rheres as much

Know it hearing ar y° touch.
