[72.] Doris, I that could repel
Doris , I that could repelAll those darts about thee dwell,
And had wisely learn'd to fear,
'Cause I saw a foe so near;
I that my deaf ear did arm
67
And the lightning of thine eye
Durst (by closing mine) defie,
Cannot this cold snow withstand
From the whiter of thy hand;
Thy deceit hath thus done more
Then thy open force before:
For who could suspect or fear
Treason in a face so clear;
Or the hidden fires descry
Wrapt in this cold outside lie;
Flames might thus involv'd in ice,
The deceiv'd world sacrifice;
Nature, ignorant of this strange antiperistasis,
Would her falling frame admire,
That by snow were set on fire.
