On the five Senses.

Seeing.

If the treasure on the Poe,
Ganges, Nile, or Mexicoe,
With the Beauty of the world,
All at once upon me hurl'd
If I cannot see my fair,
Wealth is winde, ard beauties air

Hearing.

If the musick from above,
Such as all the Gods do love,
Or the subtill Sirens voyce,
Were presented to our choyce,
If my Misteres do not hearken
Ears are deaf, and eyes do darken'

Tasting

If Ambrosia here were given
Or Nepenthe drunk in Heaven,
With the most delitious Sallets,
That ere pleas'd Ambitious pallets,
If my Lady be not pleased,
Eyes, Eares, and Tast, are all diseased

28

Smelling.

If the Spices of the East,
Were ours, that please the Smell, and Tast;
All the flowers of Thessalie
And perfumes of Italy,
If my dearest do not love it,
Eyes, Eears, Tast, Smell, disaprove it.

Feeling.

Now the last (but best) I handle,
But for this I need no Candle,
If my Mistres do deceive me,
And of Feeling should bereave mee,
If her Pulse I connot charm,
All my Sences do me harme.
