A Valediction.

Bid me not go where neither suns nor Show'rs
Do make or Cherish Flow'rs;
Where discontented things in sadness lye,
And Nature grieves as I;

246

When I am parted from those Eyes,
From which my better day doth rise,
Though some propitious Pow'r
Should plant me in a Bow'r,
VVhere amongst happy Lovers I might see
How Showers and Sun-Beams bring
One everlasting spring,
Nor would those fall, nor these shine forth to me;
Nature her Self to him is lost,
VVho loseth her he honour's most.
Then Fairest to my parting view display
Your Graces all in one full day;
VVhose blessed Shapes I'l snatch and keep, till when
I do return and view agen:
So by this Art Fancy shall Fortune Cross;
And Lovers live by thinking on their loss.
