Chloris Eyes and Breasts.
Chloris!
on thine Eyes I gaz'd;
When amaz'd
At their brightnes,
On thy Breasts I cast my Look;
No lesse took
With their whitenes:
Both I justly did admire,
These all Snow, and those all Fire.
When amaz'd
At their brightnes,
On thy Breasts I cast my Look;

With their whitenes:
Both I justly did admire,
These all Snow, and those all Fire.
Whilst these Wonders I survay'd,
Thus I said
In suspence;
Nature could have done no lesse
To expresse
Her Providence,
Than that two such fair Worlds, might
Have two Suns to give them Light.
Thus I said
In suspence;
Nature could have done no lesse
To expresse
Her Providence,
Than that two such fair Worlds, might
Have two Suns to give them Light.
