MADRIGALL 13.
[Soft louely Roselike lippes, conioyn'd with mine]
Soft louely Roselike lippes, conioyn'd with mine,Breathing out pretious incense such,
Such as at Paphos smoake to Venus shrine,
Making my lippes immortall with their tuche:
My cheekes with tuch of thy soft cheekes deuine,
Thy soft warme cheekes, which Venus fauour much:
Those armes, such armes which me embrac'de,
Me with immortall cyncture guirding rounde
Of euerlasting blisse, then bounde
With her enfolded thighes in mine entangled,
And both in one selfe soule plac'de,
Made an Hermophrodite, with pleasures rauish't:
There heate for heats, soule for soules empyer wrāgled,
Why dyed not I with loue so largely lauish't?
For wake (not finding truth of dreames before)
It secret vexeth, tentimes more.
