To a Lady weeping.
O now the certain cause I know,
whence the Rose and Lilly grow
in your fair cheeks, the often showr's,
which you thus weep do breed those Flow'rs.
whence the Rose and Lilly grow
in your fair cheeks, the often showr's,
which you thus weep do breed those Flow'rs.
If that the flouds could Venus bring,
Or warlike Mars from Flowers spring;
Why may not hence two Gods arise?
This from your Cheeks, that from your Eyes.
Or warlike Mars from Flowers spring;
Why may not hence two Gods arise?
This from your Cheeks, that from your Eyes.
