To the same.

Madam,

As those that tast halfe-sweetes and joyes begun
From those short Twylights thrust a full grown Sun;
As our Pretences to a store
Onely create an itch of more,
And we have lesse,
By that increase.
So when I heare some crosse designe
Durst interrupt your sacred line,
Which destin'd was to let us see,
Your papers rich as your Embrodery,
And that your Needle then
Had vanquisht beene by th' Pen.
We sigh to loose a blisse so nigh,
Halfe Joyes the Emblems are of misery.
Though then imperfects that designe,
And our Gold yet ly hid i'th Mine,
We dare not say we misse,
Be your Intents our Blisse:
Remembrances from you shall stand,
'Bove Volumes wrote by any other hand.
