To Amorea.

A Song.

Amorea , when that you
Honour with your sweet repeating,
My poor fancies, then I doe
Think the Heavens are compleating,
All my joyes, and pleasures too.
Yet the cause I cannot shew,
Unless it be for this reason,
That you know it is your due,
When in Verse I mean to praise one,
All the glory's meant to you.
For when I begin to vow
Clariana is my fairest,
Or do Chloes love allow,
Or say Phyla is my dearest,
All do end in you you know.
What say, can you then deny;
But the reason I have found,
'Tis because that they and I
Swear your Beauty is the ground,
Make us call you deity.
