[It seem'd a virgin full of liuing flame]

It seem'd a virgin full of liuing flame,
That would haue mou'd, if not with-held by shame
So Art it selfe conceald. His Art admires.
From th' Image drawes imaginarie fires,
And often feeles it with his hands to try,
If 'twere a Bodie or cold Iuorie.
Nor could resolue. Who kissing thought it kist.
He courts, embraces, wrings it by the wrist.
Master Sands in Oxids Metæ. lib. 10.

[He which kisses once receiu'd]

He which kisses once receiu'd,
Faint-hearted Gull is foule deceiu'd,
If after fauours such he misse,
To crop the flowre and rightly kisse.

[The deuill himselfe dares not attempt that fact]

The deuill himselfe dares not attempt that fact,
Which the vnbridled Monke and Baud dare act.
