Mount up to her, let her to me retire,
That by those sweet distilling drops above,
She may infuse to me religious love,
So may I live, and scape the Dart,
While her sweet breath saivs up my heart,
And flourish like those Flowers it fills
With Nectar sweet, which one frown kils,
First let Voluptas weep,
And Gloria fall asleep,
Castalion liquor's free,
Medea bitter bee,
E're I forsake
Thy praise to make,
Or yet deny
Thy pietie.
