The Countesse of Mountgomeries Urania | ||

Is to leaue all and take the threed of Loue,
Which line straight leades vnto the soules content,
Where choice delights with pleasures wings do moue,
And idle fant'sie neuer roome had lent.
Which line straight leades vnto the soules content,
Where choice delights with pleasures wings do moue,
And idle fant'sie neuer roome had lent.
When chaste thoughts guide vs, then our minds are bent
To take that good which ills from vs remoue:
Light of true loue brings fruite which none repent;
But constant Louers seeke and wish to proue.
To take that good which ills from vs remoue:
Light of true loue brings fruite which none repent;
But constant Louers seeke and wish to proue.
Loue is the shining Starre of blessings light,
The feruent fire of zeale, the root of peace,
The lasting Lampe, fed with the oyle of right,
Image of Faith, and wombe for ioyes increase.
The feruent fire of zeale, the root of peace,
The lasting Lampe, fed with the oyle of right,
Image of Faith, and wombe for ioyes increase.
Loue is true Vertue, and his ends delight,
His flames are ioyes, his bands true Louers might.
His flames are ioyes, his bands true Louers might.
