Flamma sine Fumo | ||
Upon the fair, and vertuous Gentlewoman Mrs. Elizabeth Gwyn of the Hay.
I cannot speak her worth, but shew my will,Her merits are beyond my pen, or skill.
Her face, and mind is fair, like to the day
Unclouded, or like heaven's milkie way,
When she inclines to marriage, may she find
A lover correspendent to her mind;
As she is rich, and comely, so may he
Equal in portion, and proportion be:
As she is kind, from him let kindnesse flow,
And love, which weak defect may never know:
So let them both like twyns be fair, and kind,
Be rich in grace, be of a loving mind;
So let them both continue, till they kisse
In love each other to eternal blisse:
