A SWEET NOSEGAY: THE AUCTOR TO THE READER by ISABELLA WHITNEY

First Line: THIS HARVEST TYME, I HARVESTLESSE
Last Line: MY SELFE TO ENDYFYE.

This harvest tyme, I harvestlesse,
and servicelesse also:
And subject unto sicknesse, that
abrode I could not go.
Had leasure good, (though learning lackt)
some study to apply:
To reade such Bookes, whereby I thought
my selfe to endyfye.
