AMOUR. 23.
Wonder of Heaven, glasse of divinitie,
Rare beauty, Natures joy, perfections Mother,
The worke of that united Trinitie,
Wherein each fayrest part excelleth other.
Rare beauty, Natures joy, perfections Mother,
The worke of that united Trinitie,
Wherein each fayrest part excelleth other.
Loves Methridate, the purest of perfection,
Celestiall Image, Load-stone of desire,
The soules delight, the sences true direction,
Sunne of the world, thou hart revyving fire.
Celestiall Image, Load-stone of desire,
The soules delight, the sences true direction,
Sunne of the world, thou hart revyving fire.
Why should'st thou place thy Trophies in those eyes,
Which scorne the honor that is done to thee,
Or make my pen her name imortalize,
Who in her pride sdaynes once to looke on mee.
It is thy heaven within her face to dwell,
And in thy heaven, there onely is my hell.
Which scorne the honor that is done to thee,
Or make my pen her name imortalize,
Who in her pride sdaynes once to looke on mee.
It is thy heaven within her face to dwell,
And in thy heaven, there onely is my hell.
