The Orientall Pearle
The Oriental'st Pearle, had I my wishe,
I'd robb the Richest of the Sea-shel'd fishe
For pendents for you; Necklases not deck
But serve for foyles, worne by your whiter Neck.
So richest Dimonds: who would not dispise
Their luster when compar'd Unto your Eyes?
The Rubie of the rock, who would now seeke
When they're putt downe by blushes of your cheeke?
Such plump and Azure Vaynes belongs to you,
As the best Saphir seemes not to be blewe.
What Juell then are you, such Treasure bringes
Beyond the wealth of Welthiest, richest Kinges?
And all this you have given mee: before
Nothinge I was, and now I wishe no more.
