[To the delightfull Greene]
To the delightfull GreeneOf you faire radiant Eine,
Let each Blacke yeeld beneath the starrie Arche.
Eyes, burnisht Heauens of Loue,
Sinople Lampes of Ioue,
Saue that those Hearts which with your Flames yee parche
Two burning Sunnes you proue,
All other Eyes compar'd with you (deare Lights)
Bee Hells, or if not Hells yet dumpish Nights.
The Heauens (if we their Glasse
The Sea beleeue) bee greene, not perfect blew.
They all make faire what euer faire yet was,
And they bee faire because they looke like you.
