Vpon his Mistresse Beauty and voyce.

Passion may my judgement bleare,
Therefore sure I will not sweare;
That others are not pleasing;
But I speake it to my paine,
And my life shall it maintaine,
None else yeelds my heart easing.
Ladies I doe thinke there be
Others some as faire as she;
Though none have fairer features,
But my Turtle-like affection
Since of her I made election,
Scornes other fairest creature.
Surely I will not deny
But some others reach as high,
With their sweet warbling voyces;
But since her notes charm'd mine eare,
Even the sweetest tunes I heare,
To me seeme rude harsh noyses.
