His Inducement to Love.

1

Doe not think it is your beauty
That hath so engaged me,
Rather know it is my duty,
Or the bonds that Love, and yon tie,
Which are onely found in thee.

2

Let not Amorea wonder
At my too presumptuous aime,
Be but pleased to look yonder
On that Coupple, and but ponder,
You will find as high extreame.

3

Entertain no thought my dearest,
That your fortune did beget
A liking, though you are the fairest,
And doe far transcend the rarest
Nature hath composed yet.

4

No, it is your education,
And your vertues that do shine:
But it is disconsolation
To endure a separation
From a vertue so divine.
