Who euer saw the Septentrionall stone,
By hidden power, (a power as yet unknowne
To our confinde and darkned reason) draw
The neighb'ring steele; which, by the mutuall law
Of natures secret working, striues as much
To be attracted, till they ioyne and touch;
Euen so these greedy Louers meet, and charmes
Each other strongly in each others armes;
Euen so they meet; and with vnbounded measure
Of true content, and time beguiling pleasure,
Enioy each other with a world of kisses,
Sealing the patent of true worldly blisses;
Where for a while I leaue them to receiue,
What pleasures new met louers vse to haue.
