Proportion.
Yet a Remove; though May may boastTo all the yeare; & Nature gives
Faint Art, Full Coppie, from ye Lives
Of fflowers, provided at her Cost;
Yet our lov'd May (wch we would gladly Draw
Vnto his Name,
Vp to her Wealth; & teach her Roses grow
Knitt with bright Lillyes, to his Fate, & Fame,)
Is but the Glosse; Proportion
Is the best Fruit, which Art may carry:
View him by Lines; & when you h' done
Though some apparent Fretts may vary
The Pourtraiture; 't may stand for Charles as well as Harry.
