Note E407 — 65.
Reading edition
There is a smoothness in the versification of this sonnet, and a succession of imagery, though drawn from common sources, which we do not often find in Tusser. He has made a good use of the figure erotesis.—M. Compare Milton, Lycidas, 45:
"As killing as the canker to the rose, Or taint-worm to the weanling herds that graze."
