[Marvell not, Love, though I thy pow'r admire]
Marvell not, Love, though I thy pow'r admire,Ravish'd a World beyond the farthest Thought,
And knowing more then ever hath beene taught,
That I am onely starv'd in my desire;
Marvell not, Love, though I thy pow'r admire,
Ayming at things exceeding all perfection,
To Wisedome's selfe to minister direction,
That I am onely starv'd in my desire;
Marvell not, Love, though I thy pow'r admire,
Though my Conceit I further seeme to bend,
Then possibly Invention can extend,
And yet am onely starv'd in my desire:
If thou wilt wonder, here's the wonder, Love,
That this to me doth yet no wonder prove.
