Canzon. 25.
[Let not disdayne thy soule vnsanctifie]
Let not disdayne thy soule vnsanctifie,Disdayne the pasport for a louers vow,
Vnsieging where it seekes to fortifie.
With deadly frownes the canons of the brow.
Let not disdayne the herse of virgin graces,
The counterpoyson to vnchastitie,
The leauen that doth sowre the sweetest faces,
Stayne thy new purchast immortalitie.
'Mongst Delian Nymphs in Angels vniuersitie
Thou my Zepheria liu'st matriculated,
The daughters of ethereall Ioue thy deitie
On holy hill haue aye perpetuated.
Oh then retire thy browes artillerie,
Loue more, and more blisse yet shall honor thee.
