[iii] [The Difference betweene Earthlie and Heauenlie Loue.]
Loue which is heere a Care,That Wit and Will doth marre,
Vncertaine Truce, and a most certaine Warre;
A shrill tempestuous Winde,
Which doth disturbe the minde,
And like wilde Waues our designes all commoue:
Among those Powres aboue,
Which see their Makers Face,
It a contentment is, a quiet Peace,
A Pleasure voide of Griefe, a constant Rest,
Eternall Ioy, which nothing can molest.
