Epig. XII. In mamillas.

[_]

Temperantia.

Those twin-like pretie buds of crimson Rose,
The daintie pappes, you may compare to those
Two springs of Temperance; which a little sweld,
The milke of goodnesse moderately doe yeild
To nurse the vertues: powring out no more
Then will suffice, yet euer yeilding store.
This part of Honour Temperance doth chuse:
Amidst her store the golden meane to vse.
