To his Mistresse, Desiring him to absent himselfe.

See how this river's liquid glasse
Can never cease its motion,
Untill he hide his Christall face
Ith' bosome of the Ocean.

The amorous Nymphs who closely guide
His purling Chariots reines,
Declare that loves impetuous tide
To be represt disdaines.

Charm Zephyr that his gentle wing
Not with Narcissus play;
The Sun in his diurnall ring
From Thetis lap delay.

Stop the departed soules career
To its appointed blisses;
All this effected, you may steer
Me to abstaine your kisses.
