SONG XXXVIII.

I

My Dearest sweet ly down by me,
With thine Enamell'd ckeek to mine,
While I my Soul breath into thee,
And every kiss returns me thine.

II

Our Bodies we'l in Pleasures lull,
And active Dalliances prove;
For why? th' face is not more full,
Of Beauty than I am of Love.

III

My willing Armes and Thighs shall clip,
And Ivy-like thy limbs entwine,

131

When from thy Balsom-mouth I'le sip
A sure restoring Medicine.

IV

And in the Respites of our sport,
Thou shalt be-pearl thy Diamond Eye
Cause Nature made her sweet so short,
And shame me to a fresh supply.

V

My busy hand and lips shall rove,
O're all the sweets thy beauties wear
And in thine Hony-suckle-grove,
I'le distill what I gather'd there,

VI

Thy bold, and thy provoking touch,
Shall Loves Alimbeck so apply,
And shew thy Chymick skill is such,
That I must melt in Love and Dy.

VII

And being thus bereft of breath,
Lovers shall at my Tomb appear,
Wishing themselves no worse a Death,
Nor better life, then I had here.

VIII

Ladies shall sighing drop a Tear,
As with pure Love and Pity mov'd,
That such a constant Servant (here,)
Should dy because he over Lov'd.
