xxvii. Persuasive dissuading.
Show mee not lockes of Gold,Nor blushing Roses of that virgine face,
Nor of thy well-made leg and foote the Grace;
Let me no more behold
Soule-charming smyles nor lightnings of thyne eye,
For they (deare life) but serue to make mee dye.
Yes, show them all, and more; vnpine thy brest,
Let me see liuing snow
Where straw-berries doe grow;
Show that delitious feild
Which lillies still doth yeeld,
Of Venus babe the Nest:
Smyle, blush, sigh, chide, vse thousand other charmes;
Mee kill, so that I fall betweene thyne armes.
