[Diana in thy bosome plast her bower]
Diana in thy bosome plast her bower
Offring vp incens to soe fair a Sainct
Ritch Nature on thy browe hath built her tower
Outbrauing Venus with a looke soe quaint
Thy feature great Apelles colde not paint
His cunning workemanship was to to base
In painting of thy rare accomplisht face
Eternall honor wolde his art disgrase.
Offring vp incens to soe fair a Sainct
Ritch Nature on thy browe hath built her tower
Outbrauing Venus with a looke soe quaint
Thy feature great Apelles colde not paint
His cunning workemanship was to to base
In painting of thy rare accomplisht face
Eternall honor wolde his art disgrase.
How blessed is the partner of thy bedd
Attayning such a wonder in his armes
Loue-greetings with thy musky breath is fedd
Sweet sugred sleepe thy slumbring eyelidds charmes
Adonis sings like to a Nightingall
Loue ditties in thy praise maiesticall
Attayning such a wonder in his armes
Loue-greetings with thy musky breath is fedd
Sweet sugred sleepe thy slumbring eyelidds charmes
Adonis sings like to a Nightingall
Loue ditties in thy praise maiesticall
finis
