To CYNTHIA.

The Hobbie Haulke can catch at all no pray,
Vnles aboue her ayme and marke she flie.
The Palme doth beare the brauer boughs some say
From neighbour trees, the higher that it bee.
So far'd of those my fansies fond and mee,
In hope of hap, I cannot cease to sore.
If loued, I liue: and if disdain'd, I die.
I pray, I prayse, I pleade, and I implore:
Proud Cytherea loued Adonis poore,
And Cynthia seru'd Endimion Sheepheard swane;
So though I be in glorious and obscure,
Yet may she loue her Poet and her Man.
Mount then braue thoughts through water, fire & aire
And desp'rately pursue the sweete, proud, faire.
Blanditiis amor est, et succo mollior omni.
