Festum Uoluptatis, Or the Banquet of Pleasure | ||
A Prize.
Tree darlings have I, and I know not whichTo make a wife on: first is meetely rich,
47
And where that is there can be no content.
The next, as loving as the Turtle is,
Whose lippe distils pure Nectar with her kisse.
But this my feare is, her nature is so prone
To give content, she cannot keepe to one.
The third is rich, and wise, and well adorn'd
With inward graces, but she is deform'd.
So as for all that I doe treasure lacke,
I would not get it on Camels backe.
Which should I have of these, they all love me,
One must I have, I cannot have all three.
