[Emerald of treasure eternall spring]
[_]
The initial letter of each line in this and the two following poems is emboldened, to spell Salvsbery Eleanor Salvsbvrye Elanor IS His Valentine.
Nurst by the graces day-starre shine on hie,
Ingendring perfect blisse with valens ring:
Twisting loue and liking with constancie.
Now stanchlesse hart redres & soule-sick wound,
Enwrap the same in foldes of fresh desire,
Let loûe be waking haruest hope be found,
And liuing spring to quench this flame of fier.
Vnto your excellent loue sole commaund,
Seing ês you may procure I me commend,
Into your counsels grace voutch my demaund,
Heate burning ioy sustaine in ioyfull end.
So shall my mûse your name ay coronize,
I will it blaze to all posterities.
