ADONIS.
You that hunt after pleasures, eye that Boare,Who would your health, and wealth, and souls devour.
Dote not on beauty; beauty's but a flower,
Whose pride and lustre fadeth in an hour.
Strive that your names may flourish after death,
Let them out-live Adonis flower, & yeeld a fragrant breath.
