XIV. On Sir Iohn Suckling.

The Rose (the Splendor of Flora's Treasurie)
Smells sweeter when tis pluckt than on the Tree.
So odorous Suckling (when he liv'd a Flower
Able alone to make the Nine a Bower)
Is held since he by Times Sith mow'd has been
The Sweetest Plant in the Pierian green.
127

Nor envious Fate, nor Northern blasts together,
Though he was nipt i'th' bud can make him wither.
