Mark Anthony.
When as the Nightingale chanted her Vespers.
And the wild Forrester couch'd on the ground,
Venus invited me in the evening whispers,
Unto a fragrant field with Roses crown'd:
Where she before had sent
My wishes complement,
Unto my hearts content,
Plaid with me on the Green,
And the wild Forrester couch'd on the ground,
Venus invited me in the evening whispers,
Unto a fragrant field with Roses crown'd:
Where she before had sent
My wishes complement,
Unto my hearts content,
Plaid with me on the Green,
Never Mark Anthony
Dallied more wantonly
With the fair Ægyptian Queen.
Dallied more wantonly
With the fair Ægyptian Queen.
First on her cherry cheeks I mine eyes feasted,
Thence feare of surfetting made me retire:
Next on her warmer, which when I tasted,
My duller spirits made me active as fire;
Then we began to dart
Each at anothers heart,
Arrowes that knew no smart:
Sweet lips and smiles between.
Thence feare of surfetting made me retire:
69
My duller spirits made me active as fire;
Then we began to dart
Each at anothers heart,
Arrowes that knew no smart:
Sweet lips and smiles between.
Never Mark, &c.
Wanting a glasse to plate her amber tresses,
Which like a bracelet rich decked mine arm,
Gawdier than Juno weares when as shee graces
Jove with imbraces more stately than warm,
Then did she peep in mine
Eyes humor Christalline;
I in her eyes was seen
As if we one had been,
Which like a bracelet rich decked mine arm,
Gawdier than Juno weares when as shee graces
Jove with imbraces more stately than warm,
Then did she peep in mine
Eyes humor Christalline;
I in her eyes was seen
As if we one had been,
Never Mark, &c.
Mysticall Grammer of amorous glances,
Feeling of Pulses the physick of love,
Rhetoricall courtings, and Musicall dances:
Numbring of Kisses Arithmetick prove.
Eyes like Astronomy,
Straight limb'd Geometry:
In her hearts ingeny
Our wits are sharp and keen.
