Upon the Marriage of the Lady Jane Cavendish with Mr. Cheney.
1.
Why from my thoughts, sweet rest; sweeter to me,Then young Ambition's prosp'rous Travails be,
Or Love's delicious progresses;
And is next Death the greatest ease?
VVhy from so calme a Heav'n,
Dost call me to this VVorld, all windy grown;
VVhere the light Crowd, like lightest Sand is driven,
And weighty greatness, even by them, to Air is blown?
