[I haue no lande therefore the fertile earthe]

I haue no lande therefore the fertile earthe,
Affordes mee nothing, vnto you to presente:
The Flowers, I, offer, in my braine had Birthe,
They wante sweete smells, yet may they yeeld content
for eie, or Nose, small pleasure they do beare,
they haue theire being, but to please the eare.
