EMBLEME 12.
Fixt heere snow-vested Pietie remainesAl-pure, and in all pure, purg'd from the staines
Of all false worship, chaste as aire, vntainted
With the foule blemishes of that al-painted
Proude Curtizan: nor wander do's her mind,
Shee best content in Constancy doth find:
To Alethea's pillar close she clings,
Maugre the rapting straines Romes Syren sings:
Who is athirst, and do's but touch her Cup,
Drinkes, with delight, his soules saluation vp.
Thus comprehends she ioyes, which most would buy
At the high'st rate, in this one Constancy,
So aboue others may your Honours shine,
As past all others, do's this Forme Diuine,
With her ingenuous Beames blaze bright in you,
Who's doubly gilt, with Her, and Learning too.
