MADRIGALL 22.
[In centre of these starres of loue]
In centre of these starres of loue,(Boue all conceites in mans capacitie)
An Orient iet which did not moue,
To Cupids chariot wheele made for the naffe,
Was fixt, which could with mylde rapacitie
Of lighter louers, draw the lighter chaffe:
This, shadow giues to clearer light,
In which as in a myrroulde there was framed,
(For those which loues conditions treate vpon)
A glasse, which should giue semblance right
Of all their Phisnomies impassionate.
Those harts (which tyrant loue doth beate vpon)
May there behold, what Cupid workes,
Yeelding in it, that figure fashionate
Which in the iettie myrrour lurkes.
